Corrective Jaw Surgery

Corrective Jaw Surgery at Masterpiece Smiles Orthodontics

At Masterpiece Smiles Orthodontics, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions for complex dental issues. One such solution is Corrective Jaw Surgery, a procedure designed to address significant jaw irregularities and improve both function and aesthetics.

What is Corrective Jaw Surgery?

Corrective Jaw Surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, involves surgical procedures to correct misalignments of the jaw bones. These corrections can significantly improve chewing, speaking, and breathing functions, as well as enhance facial appearance. Our skilled team collaborates closely with orthodontic specialists to ensure optimal results.

Benefits of Corrective Jaw Surgery

1. Improved Functionality: Corrective jaw surgery can resolve functional issues such as difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking, providing a better quality of life.
2. Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant relief from chronic jaw pain, headaches, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
3. Enhanced Aesthetics: Jaw surgery can improve facial balance and symmetry, resulting in a more attractive and harmonious appearance.
4. Better Oral Health: Properly aligned jaws can make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

When is Corrective Jaw Surgery Needed?

• Severe Bite Misalignment: Conditions such as underbite, overbite, crossbite, and open bite that cannot be corrected with orthodontics alone.
• Jaw Growth Issues: Discrepancies in jaw growth that cause functional problems and affect facial aesthetics.
• Sleep Apnea: Structural jaw issues that contribute to obstructive sleep apnea and breathing difficulties.
• TMJ Disorders: Severe temporomandibular joint issues that do not respond to non-surgical treatments.

The Corrective Jaw Surgery Process

• Consultation and Evaluation: Comprehensive examination and imaging to assess the jaw structure and determine the appropriate surgical plan.
• Pre-Surgical Orthodontics: Braces or aligners may be used to align the teeth in preparation for surgery.
• Surgery: Performed under general anesthesia, the surgery involves precise repositioning of the jawbones. Our team ensures minimal discomfort and optimal results.
• Post-Surgical Care: Follow-up visits to monitor healing, adjustments to orthodontic appliances, and guidance on maintaining oral health during recovery.
