If you have jaw problems that cannot be resolved with orthodontic treatment alone, jaw surgery may be an option. Cosmetic Jaw Surgery, also known as Orthognathic Surgery, corrects jaw bone irregularities and realigns the jaws and teeth to improve their function. These changes also improve your facial appearance and self-esteem.
Jaw surgeries can affect the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), chin or any combination of these structures. These surgeries are best performed after the growth of the facial skeleton is completed, which is usually in the late teens.
Dr. Segin Chandran, our chief surgeon, designs and performs these treatment procedures with the assistance of a team of Maxillofacial Surgeons, Orthodontists, Associate Dental Surgeons, Anesthesiologists, and Speech Therapists.
These jaw surgeries can make biting and chewing easier and improve the function overall, as well as correct swallowing and speech issues. The most recent advancement in our cosmetic jaw procedures is the digitalization of the entire planning process, as well as computer-assisted surgeries and Patient Specific Implants (PSI)
