Orthognathic surgery corrects conditions of the jaw and face related to skeletal growth, cleft palate, sleep apnea, or orthodontic cases that cannot be easily corrected with braces. Bones of the face and/or jaws are surgically realigned into a better anatomical position. Sometimes, rigid fixation devices are used to hold the realigned jaws in place.
There are many steps involved in orthognathic surgery:
Our physicians work as a team when planning your orthognathic surgery case. Typically, both doctors will perform your procedure at the hospital.
