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)

Very patient and thorough explaining everything and welcome to questions. Very good experience. Donna was great.
We love Rothenberg Orthodontics! All the staff are friendly, great with the children and quick and efficient during visits. They are very accommodating with convenient appointment times that work with your schedule! We are so happy to have a great orthodontist right in town!
Rothenberg Orthodontics is the way to go!!!! Wonderful and caring staff who go above and beyond! I have had 3 sons with braces who went to them. Highly highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Both my boys had their teeth adjusted to perfection by Rothenberg Orthodontics. One with the traditional metal braces, the other with Invisalign. Both turned out fantastic! 10/10
I had 3 kids plus my wife that went through the office to get braces. They are easy to deal with and everyone is great.
