Jaw surgery isn’t only about appearance. For some people, it’s about correcting a significant bite problem that affects long-term oral function.
A severe overbite or underbite can place uneven pressure on the teeth, potentially contributing to premature wear over time. When orthodontic treatment alone cannot correct the underlying jaw position, corrective jaw surgery may be considered to improve alignment and create a more balanced bite.
Every case is different and requires careful assessment and planning between your oral and maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontist.
