A misaligned jaw affects far more than your smile—it impacts how you chew, breathe, and carry your facial profile.
The good news is that it is fixable! Orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, can usually be performed from inside the mouth, so there are no visible scars on the face. Our team uses 3D virtual surgical planning and detailed analyses to map everything out, then surgically realign the jaw and secure it with titanium plates. This can be done for one or both jaws, along with the correction of nearby facial bones and tissue if required.
This patient had an underdeveloped upper jaw that sat behind the lower one, causing a sunken midface appearance, relative protrusion of the lower jaw, and an improper bite.
After orthodontic therapy (braces) to align the teeth, we surgically moved the upper jaw forward to improve both function and appearance. We also performed soft tissue refinements, including lip lengthening, to make it look more natural. And all of this was done with no visible facial scars!
