Corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is performed to correct a wide range of skeletal and dental irregularities, things like jaw and teeth misalignment.
Orthognathic surgery treats jaw discrepancies to improve the patient’s ability to bite, talk, breathe and speak. This surgery can also improve facial appearances and correct deformities by properly aligning the facial bones. Braces are often in conjunction with jaw surgery to ensure the teeth and jaw bones are properly aligned after surgery.
