Skeletal Focus. Detailed Planning. Stable Foundation.
Beyond Tooth Alignment
Corrective jaw surgery is used to treat structural discrepancies in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both when those discrepancies affect bite function, facial balance, speech, chewing, or airway health. Unlike treatments that address tooth alignment alone, corrective jaw surgery focuses on the underlying skeletal relationship that supports the bite and facial structure.
Years of Living With It
Many patients who need corrective jaw surgery have lived for years with functional limitations or aesthetic concerns related to jaw imbalance. Symptoms can include difficulty chewing, chronic jaw strain, facial asymmetry, excessive wear on teeth, and bite instability. In the right cases, surgery can address these issues in a more complete and lasting way.
A Comprehensive Evaluation
At South Florida Institute of Oral Surgery, every corrective jaw surgery case begins with a comprehensive evaluation and highly detailed planning process. We use advanced imaging and digital tools to visualize anatomy, coordinate treatment, and design a surgical approach tailored to the patient’s needs.
A Significant Step, Clearly Supported
Our goal is to improve both function and facial harmony while helping patients achieve a more stable and healthy foundation for long-term oral health. Corrective jaw surgery is a significant step, and we are committed to making that journey as clear and supportive as possible.
