Jaw Surgery to Improve Function and Aesthetics

Oral surgeons can help you with a wide range of problems by performing orthognathic surgery.

This type of surgery involves changing the structure and alignment of your jaw to improve its function or the function of your teeth. It can help you breathe, chew, talk and sleep better and may improve your appearance at the same time.

Benefits of Orthognathic Surgery

You might be surprised to know that one type of surgery can help with as many different conditions as orthognathic surgery does. The following list covers the most common ways orthognathic surgery might help you.

The Recovery Process

Clear aligners are invisible braces that fit over your teeth snugly. You can take them out whenever you like, to eat or to take care of your teeth. One thing that makes clear aligners unique is that, rather than being fitted for them once and then getting adjustments to the braces, you get new aligners every two weeks. Each aligner moves your teeth closer to the desired alignment. Because you can remove them so easily, they have very little impact on your daily life.

 

You need Commitment to See Results

Hidden bracesgo behind your teeth so they are not noticeable when you smile. Your dentist makes computer images of the backs of your teeth, which the lab uses to create your hidden braces. You still need to get them adjusted just as you do with metal braces. They are fixed, so only your dentist can remove them, which is rarely done before the straightening treatment is complete. Although hidden braces do not detract from your appearance during the straightening process, they can make eating and taking care of your teeth a bit more difficult.

How it is Done

Orthognathic surgery is always done using general anesthesia. After you receive the anesthesia, your oral surgeon wires your jaws shutto ensure the teeth will be aligned properly after the surgery. The surgeon then completes the procedure by cutting bone and re-positioning itaccording to plan. In nearly all cases, the cuts can be made from inside the mouth rather than on the outside of the face. When the procedure is complete, the surgeon removes the wire to free your jaws.
