What is Jaw Surgery?
There
are many times where Invisalign and braces are unable to correct teeth and jaw
problems. This is when skeletal issues occur and surgery is required to
reposition the jaw. Surgery is often performed on adult patients because it is
more difficult to shift their jaws after years of being in place. Children’s
jaws are still soft and can easily be shifted as they are still developing.
This is why many children and adolescents are seen wearing braces. Adults are
more likely to undergo a jaw procedure.
Jaw
surgery is usually performed inside of the mouth. This eliminates scarring on the
exterior areas of the face including the jaw, chin, and around the mouth area.
Orthognathic surgery will involve cuts being made in the jawbone. This allows
the surgeon to position the jaw in the correct place to eliminate problems the
patient is currently experiencing. Repositioning and properly aligning the jaw
will be followed by screws and plates securing the jaw in the new potion. In
some cases, new bone may be needed to be added to the jaw. The bone and new jaw
position will be secured temporarily with wires.
There
are many factors that will assist in determining how to correct your teeth and
jaw. The age of the individual and the severity of the jaw issues can play the
most important roles in making a determination. It is important to visit a
orthodontist if you have developed jaw-related issues that greatly affect your
life. It is equally important to observe these issues in children who may not
understand what is happening.
