Oral and maxillofacial care

Corrective jaw surgery

Orthognathic surgery repositions jaw bones to address significant skeletal bite, airway, or facial-balance problems.

A request does not guarantee that a nearby practice offers this service or has availability.

What the appointment may involve

Oral surgeons and orthodontists coordinate records, orthodontics, virtual planning, surgery, and recovery.

Good to know before choosing care

This is a major, staged treatment; discuss functional goals, risks, hospitalization, recovery, and insurance review.

Questions worth asking a practice

  • What exam or records are needed before confirming that corrective jaw surgery is appropriate?
  • What alternatives, material choices, risks, and likely follow-up should I consider?
  • Who will perform the procedure, and does my situation call for a specialist?
  • What does the estimate include, and how will insurance benefits or financing be verified?
