 Corrective
jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) treats and corrects abnormalities
of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Often,
these abnormalities cause difficulty associated with chewing,
talking, sleeping and other routine activities. Orthognathic surgery
corrects these problems and, in conjunction with orthodontic treatment,
will improve the overall appearance of the facial profile.
Using the latest in digital imaging technology, we will demonstrate
the overall functional and aesthetic benefits of orthognathic
surgery. Computerized treatment planning minimizes treatment times,
recovery periods, and the overall efficacy of your surgery. State-of-the-art
materials such as titanium plates and miniature screws provide
stability, strength, and predictability to your treatment.
These advances in technology, procedures, and equipment reduce
post-surgical recovery time, thus allowing patients to return
to their normal routines soon after the surgery.
Orthognathic surgery may be unnecessary if orthodontic treatment
can correct the problem. With the latest advances in orthodontics,
this is sometimes the case. We will determine if orthognathic
surgery is the correct treatment option for you.
