For some patients, orthodontic treatment (i.e. braces or clear aligner therapy) alone may not fully correct an entire problem that involves jaw bones. In those cases, there may be a need for surgery in combination with orthodontic treatment to achieve a functional and healthy bite. Orthognathic surgery is corrective jaw surgery performed to correct skeletal problems that affect the ability to bite, chew and speak. At Park Smiles NYC, Dr. Ruben Cohen, our Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, works in conjunction with our orthodontists to design and execute your plan of surgical care.
