Why Do I Need Corrective Jaw Surgery?
There are a number of circumstances that could develop into the need for corrective surgery. Oftentimes, patients who developed certain habits as young children, such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, or even prolonged bottle-feeding, can lead to further issues later in life such as underbites and overbites.
Other patients may have genetic defects or had a jaw injury that led to a malocclusion. If left untreated, malocclusions can affect aspects of your day-to-day life such as affected speech, chewing, oral health, and appearance. Instead of waiting for these long-term issues to appear or become more noticeable and more of a hindrance in your life, consider orthognathic surgery as a treatment option.
At San Diego Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we are experienced and proficient at corrective jaw surgery. With our expertise, your upcoming surgery will be approached with precision and carefully calculated steps to ensure your jaw and teeth are correctly aligned.
To achieve a high standard of patient care, we utilize three-dimensional models to plan your procedure and explain to you exactly what the process will look like. Next, we use state-of-the-art computer video imaging and facial X-rays to give you an idea of what your jaw alignment will look like after surgery and without your malocclusion.
