Corrective Jaw Surgery

Several factors can cause jaw misalignment, such as injuries, congenital disabilities, or different jaw growth rates. Corrective jaw surgery is performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons to realign your jaw and teeth and can improve essential functions like breathing, chewing, and speaking. Orthodontists will correct a person’s bite if only the teeth are misaligned. Your dentist, orthodontist, and OMS can work together to determine whether you are a candidate for corrective jaw surgery.
