Corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is performed to realign the jaws, improving facial balance, bite function, and overall oral health. Patients benefit from enhanced chewing efficiency, reduced wear on teeth, and relief from chronic jaw pain or TMJ disorders.
This procedure can correct issues like overbites, underbites, and open bites, which may lead to difficulties with eating or speaking. Additionally, it can enhance facial aesthetics, creating a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. Corrective jaw surgery also improves long-term dental health by properly aligning the bite, reducing the risk of future dental complications.
