What the Surgery Corrects
Jaw alignment surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery or orthognathic surgery, is performed to reposition one or both jaws when structural misalignment affects bite function, facial balance, or airway support. These procedures can address issues that cannot be corrected with orthodontics alone and are often recommended when the relationship between the upper and lower jaws is significantly imbalanced.
How Misalignment Shows Up
Jaw alignment problems may contribute to difficulty chewing, speech concerns, uneven tooth wear, jaw strain, facial asymmetry, and airway-related issues. Because the jaws play such a central role in both function and appearance, treatment planning must be detailed and highly customized.
Imaged and Virtually Planned
At South Florida Institute of Oral Surgery, jaw alignment surgery is planned using advanced imaging, virtual surgical tools, and careful analysis of the patient’s anatomy and goals. We work closely with orthodontic and restorative partners when needed to coordinate treatment and support the best possible result.
Harmony, Function, Stability
Our goal is to restore harmony between the jaws, improve function, and enhance long-term stability. Jaw alignment surgery can be life-changing for the right patient, and we are committed to making the process clear, precise, and thoughtfully guided at every step.
