Oral surgery corrects irregularities in the jaws and realigns the jaws and teeth to improve their function. These corrections can also improve the appearance of your face. Jaw surgery may be a corrective option if you have jaw problems that cannot be resolved with orthodontics alone. In most cases, you will also have braces on your teeth prior to surgery and during post-operative recovery until healing and alignment is complete. Your orthodontist can work with your oral and maxillofacial surgeon to determine your treatment plan.
