What is Involved in Jaw Deformity Correction?

Jaw deformity correction involves various treatment options to address structural issues with the jaw. It may include the use of orthodontics (braces or aligners) to realign the teeth and jaw, or surgical procedures to reposition the jawbone. The goal is to improve the bite, restore facial symmetry, and enhance overall function, ensuring a comfortable and healthy mouth.

How Does Jaw Deformity Correction Work?

Work

The treatment for jaw deformity correction depends on the severity and type of deformity. For less severe cases, orthodontic devices such as braces or aligners are used to gradually move the teeth and jaw into proper alignment. For more complex cases, surgical intervention may be required to reposition the jawbones, correcting structural issues. This process is carried out in close collaboration with oral surgeons and orthodontists. After correction, follow-up treatments are often necessary to maintain the proper alignment and ensure long-term results.
