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)

Can’t say enough good things about this practice. Professional, courteous, highly organized. All around great experience!
Entire staff is fantastic! Friendly and supportive. I left appt knowing I was great hands on my Invisalign journey
Had my braces removed today’s and could not be happier with everything. Thank you!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this practice. I have permanent retainers that I have had for over 10 years. I have been having problems lately with them (not their fault)and they are so accommodating to get me in and to fix my problems. It’s a very friendly office. And Dr Rothenberg is great!!!
My son recently got his braces at Rothenberg Orthodontics. The entire staff is so kind and caring and knowledgeable. The orthodontist even texted to see how he was doing that night. Really above and beyond! It’s an uncomfortable experience but they truly make it go as smoothly as possible.
