Corrective Jaw Surgery

If you’re facing issues with your bite, jaw alignment, or facial appearance, corrective jaw surgery—also known as orthognathic surgery—could be the key to improving your function and confidence. At NEO Dental Implants & Oral Surgery, we can help realign your upper and lower jaws, enhancing the way your teeth fit together and your overall facial symmetry.

What is Corrective Jaw Surgery?

Corrective jaw surgery is designed to realign the upper and lower jaws. This addresses a variety of dental and facial issues. It can correct misalignments, jaw pain, and issues with speech or chewing that affect your daily life. By repositioning the jawbones, the surgery improves not only your bite but also the balance of your facial features.

This surgery treats several conditions, including:

Corrective jaw surgery isn’t just about looks—it’s a solution that improves oral health and function. Whether you’re dealing with chronic jaw pain or difficulty chewing, this treatment can provide lasting relief and enhance your overall well-being.

These signs often indicate that your teeth and jaws aren’t properly aligned, which can affect your health and appearance. It’s important to address these issues early to avoid further complications and to improve both looks and function.

Consultation and Evaluation Process

A thorough assessment begins with a discussion of your medical history and the details of your injury. Your oral surgeon will evaluate the extent of damage to develop an accurate diagnosis.

Imaging Technology

The journey to a better smile and bite begins with an initial consultation. During your visit, we’ll conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if corrective jaw surgery is the right solution for you. We’ll use advanced imaging techniques, including X-rays and 3D scans, to assess your jaw structure and develop a detailed treatment plan.

Here’s what you can expect during the evaluation process:

The Surgical Procedure

Corrective jaw surgery is a precise and well-planned procedure. Before surgery, you may need to undergo orthodontic treatment to properly align your teeth. Once you’re ready, the surgery will be performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout the process.

During surgery, your doctor will carefully reposition your jawbones using advanced techniques and tools. It typically lasts several hours, depending on the complexity of your case.

The surgical procedure is designed to provide long-lasting results that improve your bite, alleviate discomfort, and enhance your facial symmetry.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

The recovery process after corrective jaw surgery is important for ensuring the success of the procedure. You’ll likely need to stay in the hospital for a short period for monitoring and care. Swelling and discomfort are common in the first few days, but with proper care, you’ll be on your way to healing in no time.

Here’s what to expect during your recovery:

Once the initial healing period is over, you’ll gradually be able to return to your regular activities. Post-surgical orthodontic treatment may be required to fine-tune your bite, but with ongoing care, you’ll achieve a comfortable and balanced result.
