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
Getting my braces felt amazing! I felt comfortable throughout the whole process and it didn’t take that long than expected but it felt seamless and I’m feel confident wearing these dentures :)
Excellent care and service!
The staff is always professional and helpful.
Rothenberg is the best. The doctors are thorough and spend the time with each patient and family to ensure that their plan of attack is understood. My daughter’s teeth look amazing. Would highly recommend them.
My son had a wonderful experience as always. Thank you for making him feel at ease and having his appointment run as smooth as possible!
