Orthognathic Surgery
This is the “gold standard” for correcting bite misalignments like underbites, overbites, and crossbites. By repositioning the maxilla (upper jaw) or mandible (lower jaw), we ensure your teeth fit together perfectly, preventing long-term tooth wear and joint pain. However, jaw surgery is a comprehensive field. Depending on your goals, your treatment may fall into one of our specialized categories:
Double Jaw Surgery
For many patients, the source of a “bad bite” isn’t just one jaw—it’s the relationship between both. Double jaw surgery is considered the “gold standard” for correcting significant misalignments like severe underbites, overbites, and complex crossbites.
Facial Asymmetry
No face is perfectly symmetrical, but significant skeletal imbalance can lead to functional problems and self-consciousness. Facial asymmetry occurs when one side of the jaw grows more than the other, or when the chin and jaw midline do not align with the rest of the face.
Sleep Apnea Surgery
For patients struggling with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA) is a life-changing alternative to a CPAP machine. By advancing the jaws forward, we physically open the airway, allowing you to breathe naturally and wake up feeling refreshed.
Chin Surgery
Often performed in conjunction with other jaw movements, Genioplasty (Chin Surgery) focuses on the “projection” of the chin. Whether you want to strengthen a receding chin or reduce a prominent one, this procedure provides the finishing touch for a balanced, confident profile.
