Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery is designed to improve jaw function, allow for enhanced orthodontic treatment, and bring the facial features into balance. The exact approach used is tailored to the needs of the patient and can involve repositioning the jaw bones in multiple ways. Other procedures frequently involved with orthognathic surgery include osteotomies (bone cutting), bone grafts, distraction osteogenesis (stretching of the bone) and braces or Invisalign.
