Orthognathic Surgery
What is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, corrects a wide range of major and minor dental and skeletal irregularities. One of the specific irregularities that can be fixed by our oral and maxillofacial surgeons with orthognathic surgery is the misalignment of your jaw and teeth, which will improve your ability to chew, speak, and breathe. While orthognathic surgery is performed to correct functional problems, it can dramatically enhance your appearance as well.

- Difficulty chewing, biting, or swallowing food
