Orthognathic Surgery

What is Orthognathic Surgery?

Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is a specialized oral surgical procedure we perform at Midland Oral Surgery. This procedure corrects a variety of conditions associated with the structure of the jaw and face. If you experience difficulty in chewing, speaking, or breathing, or if you're unsatisfied with the aesthetics of your facial profile, orthognathic surgery may be the ideal solution.

When is Orthognathic Surgery Recommended?

Orthognathic surgery is recommended when orthodontics alone can't correct problems with chewing, speaking, or long-term oral health. Common issues include jaw growth discrepancies, facial injury or abnormalities, chronic jaw or jaw joint (TMJ) pain, and more. It's not merely a functional correction but can also dramatically enhance your facial appearance.

Orthognathic surgery involves repositioning the jaws according to a precise surgical plan. Our oral surgeons use modern 3D imaging and contemporary treatment planning techniques to ensure predictable outcomes. Post-surgery, braces might be necessary to ensure the teeth are perfectly aligned. Rest assured, at Midland Oral Surgery, we aim to deliver top-quality surgical outcomes with minimal discomfort.
