About Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw positions that cannot be fixed by braces alone, improving chewing, breathing and facial balance. It is planned with an orthodontist, who aligns the teeth before and after surgery.
Planning uses 3D imaging, and recovery involves a soft diet for several weeks.
