What is Corrective Jaw Surgery?
Corrective jaw surgery, also called orthognathic surgery, is a procedure designed to align your upper and lower jaws. It is often needed when the jaws do not meet correctly or the teeth do not fit together within the jaw. This surgery treats conditions like misalignment and obstructive sleep apnea. By correcting these issues, we can help you achieve better long-term health, function, and comfort.
Consultation and Procedure
We want you to feel calm and prepared for every step of your journey. During your first visit, we will sit down with you to discuss your concerns and goals. Our team will take X-rays and 3D scans to get a clear picture of your dental health.
Often, this process involves working with an orthodontist to align your teeth before surgery. We will explain exactly how long the procedure takes and what you can expect on the day of surgery, so there are no surprises.

We know you may have questions about this procedure. Here are some reassuring answers to help you feel more confident.
We will go the extra mile to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during treatment. To best support your wellbeing, we use advanced techniques and medication to minimize pain during and after the surgery. While some soreness and swelling are normal during healing, our team will provide a detailed pain management plan to keep you as comfortable as possible.
Recovery time is different for everyone. Most patients need a few weeks of rest at home before returning to school or work. Complete healing of the jawbone takes longer, usually several months. We will be by your side to monitor your progress and support your recovery every step of the way.
In many cases, braces are part of the treatment plan. Your orthodontist aligns your teeth before surgery, and you may need to wear braces for a short time afterward to fine-tune your bite. We will coordinate closely with your orthodontist to ensure your smile is stable and healthy.
