Jaw surgery may be a corrective option if you have jaw problems
that can't be resolved with orthodontics alone. Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic
surgery, corrects irregularities of the jaw bones and realigns the jaws and
teeth to improve so jaw & teeth can function well. Making these corrections
may also improve your facial appearance.
Jaw surgery may help to:
·
Make biting and chewing easier and improve
chewing overall
·
Correct problems with swallowing or speech
·
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 without any force
·
Provide relief for obstructive sleep apnea
The process of the surgery:
·
Need to discuss with your orthodontist
either you can do the surgery than orthodontic treatment or orthodontic
treatment needed before the surgery.
·
Your orthodontist and oral and
maxillofacial surgeon works together to develop your treatment plan. X-rays,
pictures and models of your teeth are part of the planning for your jaw
surgery. Occasionally, the difference in the way teeth fit together will
require either reshaping of the teeth, covering the teeth with crowns or both
to complete correction.
