Corrective Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery for bite, breath and balance.
At a glance
- Planned with 3D i-CAT imaging and simulation
- Improves chewing, speech and airway function
- Restores long-term facial balance
- Coordinated with your orthodontist
Orthognathic surgery is used to help surgically correct misalignment of the jaws. Before orthognathic surgery can commence, the teeth must first be straightened with orthodontic treatment.
Once the teeth are straight, we can then proceed to corrective jaw surgery to effectively reposition misaligned jaws, ensuring optimal function and a visually appealing smile.
Planned in 3D
Cone-beam CT (i-CAT) imaging and simulation let us plan the movements precisely, and show you the expected result before treatment begins.
Function first
Correcting jaw position improves chewing, speech, long-term oral health and airway function, alongside restoring facial balance.
With your orthodontist
Surgery is coordinated with your orthodontist, usually after a period of orthodontic preparation. Rarely is surgery undertaken on its own.
