What Can Orthognathic Surgery Address?
It’s a comprehensive solution for a range of jaw irregularities: from excessively large or small jaws to those that are misaligned, too far forward, or too far back or off to one side. Even a substantial gap between upper and lower front teeth may be addressed through through surgery.
Jaw surgery (in combination with orthodontic treatment) might be your answer if you face challenges with:
- Chewing or biting food
- Swallowing
- Speaking clearly
- Jaw pain
- Facial asymmetry
- Birth defects or facial injuries
- Cleft lip or palate
- Uneven or rapid tooth wear
- Open bite (front or back teeth not meeting when the mouth is closed)
- Receding chin
- Protruding jaw
- Difficulty closing lips effortlessly
- Chronic mouth breathing causing dryness and gum inflammation
- Diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and snoring
At Ortho Co., we believe in achieving not just a balanced smile, but also an enhanced quality of life through orthognathic surgery where deemed necessary. Join us in discovering the transformative power of precision and care.
