Introduction
Jaw Realignment Surgery, also known as Orthognathic Surgery, is a procedure used to correct misaligned jaws, improving both function and appearance. This surgery is often recommended for people with issues such as malocclusion (misaligned bite), facial asymmetry, or problems with speaking, chewing, and breathing. By repositioning the upper and/or lower jaws, orthognathic surgery not only enhances facial aesthetics but also improves oral health and quality of life.
If you're struggling with chronic jaw pain, difficulty eating, or other dental issues, jaw realignment surgery could be the solution you've been looking for. This procedure helps create a balanced, functional bite that leads to improved confidence and comfort.
What is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery is a surgical procedure designed to realign the upper and lower jaws. When the jawbones are misaligned, it can cause difficulties in biting, chewing, speaking, and even breathing. This misalignment can also impact facial symmetry.
The surgery involves repositioning the jawbones to achieve a more natural and functional bite. It can address several types of bite problems, such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. For many patients, orthognathic surgery provides not only improved jaw function but also an enhanced appearance, boosting confidence.
