Jaw surgery benefits those who have misaligned jaws or bites, whether due to birth defects, abnormal development, or injuries. Jaw surgery can:
Correct improper bites.
Improve chewing, biting, speaking, and/or swallowing.
Relieve chronic pain and/or breathing problems.
Reduce wear and tear on teeth.
Improve facial symmetry.
Jaw surgery may not always be necessary in some cases, so it’s important to consult with an oral surgeon to explore your options and determine the best course of action.
