Schedule Corrective Jaw Surgery in Birmingham, AL
Misaligned jaws are often behind some of our most frustrating and persistent oral ailments: difficulty chewing or swallowing, breathing problems, chronic jaw pain, and even issues with speech. While orthodontics can solve some bite pattern issues, often these problems go deeper than crooked teeth alone. When this is the case, corrective jaw surgery may be the answer.
It’s important for our teeth—and our jaws—to meet correctly. Repositioning the jaw can not only solve functional problems but also improve confidence-impairing issues like open bites, protruding jaws, and underdeveloped chins. Whether your symptoms were present at birth, the result of an injury, or influenced by your environment, jaw surgery—also called orthognathic surgery—can help you achieve harmony between your dental health, appearance, and total wellness.
