Do I Need Corrective Jaw Surgery?

Do I Need Corrective Jaw Surgery?

Orthognathic, or “Corrective Jaw”, surgery is a specialized corrective surgery performed only by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The procedure can correct a wide range of skeletal and dental problems, most notably the misalignment of jaws. While orthognathic surgery is primarily performed to correct misalignment and other functional issues (such as chewing, breathing and speaking), the patient’s physical appearance is also often significantly enhanced. Here is a brief list of some of the most common conditions that might result in a recommendation for corrective jaw surgery:

  • Receding jaw and chin
  • Protruding jaw
  • Sleep apnea
  • Unbalanced facial appearance
  • Facial injuries
  • Birth defects
  • Chronic jaw pain
  • Difficulty chewing or biting
  • Open bite

Please watch this short, informative video about corrective jaw surgery. If you have any questions about orthognathic surgery or the conditions listed above, please contact us.

Oral Surgery Client Testimonials

My daughter had her wisdom teeth out and everything about the experience was easy. The staff was efficient and responsive, and the procedure went just as expected. Highly recommend this practice!
Alaina R., Truckee, CA
I went to Dr.Martin a couple years ago to get my wisdom teeth taken out, since then I have referred three of my friends and they were also very happy with his work. The staff and himself were so nice and friendly, made each of us feel comfortable and relaxed.
