Corrective jaw surgery is performed on adults. In some cases, your upper and lower jaws may have grown at different rates. Injuries and birth defects may also affect jaw alignment. While orthodontics can usually correct problems when only the teeth are misaligned, corrective jaw surgery may be necessary to correct misalignment of the jaws. If you suffer from any of the following conditions, you may be an excellent candidate for corrective jaw surgery:
- Difficulty chewing, biting food, or swallowing
- Chronic jaw or jaw joint (TMJ) pain and headache
- Excessive wear of the teeth
- Open bite (space between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed)
- Unbalanced facial appearance from the front or side
- Facial injury or birth defects
- Receding chin
- Inability to make the lips meet without straining
- Protruding jaw
- Chronic mouth breathing and dry mouth
- Sleep apnea (breathing problems when sleeping, including snoring)
Rothenberg Orthodontics Reviews
First time braces for our 12 year old son. He was nervous but everything went perfect! Staff was patient and kind, moved at his pace and explained everything as they went. We looked at many practices before we picked an orthodontist and I’m so glad we decided on Rothenberg.
From the initial consultation with Fran and the lady doctor and the first procedure with Dr. Rothenberg, it was an amazing experience. Everyone was so professional and kind. After the first day,Dr Rothenberg personally called my son to comfort him who was in a lot of discomfort. I absolutely recommend this practice and group.
Short wait times, very responsive, attentive staff, overall a good experience. MaryAnn has been particularly helpful working around busy schedules.
I came in for Invisalign. Lovely experience here. Everyone is very nice, patient and informative. Excited for my results. Would highly recommend.
Very nice and professional staff. This office runs Very efficiently.
