Jaw surgery, also
known as orthognathic surgery, corrects irregularities of the jaw bones and
realigns the jaws and teeth to improve the way they work. Making these
corrections may also improve your facial appearance. Your orthodontist can work
with your oral and jaw and face (maxillofacial) surgeon to determine your
treatment plan.
Jaw surgery may help to:
·
Make biting and chewing easier and improve chewing
overall
·
Correct problems with swallowing or speech
·
Minimize excessive wear and breakdown of the teeth
·
Correct bite fit or jaw closure issues, such as when the
molars touch but the front teeth don't touch (open bite)
·
Correct facial imbalance (asymmetry), such as small
chins, underbites, overbites, and crossbites
·
Improve the ability of the lips to fully close
comfortably
·
Provide relief for obstructive sleep apnea
