Corrective Jaw Surgery

Corrective Jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, may be needed if your oral health, function, and appearance are affected by problems that cannot be corrected through more conservative treatments. Surgical treatment may be needed to correct abnormalities in the teeth, jaws, or facial bones. It is especially important to receive the treatment you need if these abnormalities are causing difficulties in speaking, chewing, eating, sleeping, and other routine activities. In addition to making these activities easier and more comfortable, jaw surgery can help to improve your oral health and even the appearance of your overall facial profile.

At your consultation, Drs. Ford and Guter will evaluate your unique circumstance and provide you with the most effective and helpful treatment options. Having properly aligned arches provides your mouth with optimum functionality, and it can help overall health, maintain oral health and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
