Orthodontic surgery is often referred to as orthognathic surgery, where “orthognathic” simply means “straight jaws.” All kinds of symptoms can result when jaws don’t align. Do you suffer from any of the following?
- Trouble chewing, or biting food
- Difficulty swallowing
- Chronic jaw or jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain and headache
- Excessive wearing of the teeth
- Open bite (space between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed)
- “Lopsided” facial appearance from the front, or side
- Facial injury or birth defects
- Receding chin
- Protruding jaw
- Inability to make the lips meet without straining
- Chronic mouth breathing and dry mouth
- Breathing problems while sleeping, including snoring
Many people don’t realize that we can correct their problems with orthognathic surgery, coupled with orthodontics to realign the teeth. The surgery can help you to chew, speak, and breathe better. Frequently, surgery can also help to enhance your appearance.
