Jaw Surgery

Orthodontic treatment and a radiant smile offer numerous benefits. Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, addresses and rectifies abnormalities within the facial bones, particularly the jaws and teeth. These abnormalities may impede speech, disrupt sleep, and detract from daily activities, leading to issues such as sleep apnea, snoring and TMJ pain. Orthognathic surgery effectively addresses these concerns and enhances the overall facial profile when combined with orthodontic treatment.

Dr. Parikh collaborates with oral and maxillofacial surgeons to ensure optimal care for patients requiring surgical orthodontics. Our cohesive team structure assures you of top-tier results, even in complex cases.

Your tailored treatment plan ensures proper teeth alignment, followed by surgery conducted in a hospital setting, with braces remaining in place. There is a necessary post-surgery recovery period for patients, during which time off work or school is advised. Additionally, patients are instructed to follow a diet limited to soft foods.

Approximately six weeks post-surgery, Dr. Parikh initiates adjustments to fine-tune your bite. In most cases, braces are removed within six to twelve months post-surgery, followed by retainer use to maintain your newly achieved smile.

As with any major medical procedure, orthognathic surgery carries inherent risks. However, its longstanding practice in various medical settings assures patients of a well-established procedure.

For many, the ultimate reward lies in attaining a lasting, radiant smile. Whether correcting a malocclusion or jaw irregularity, jaw surgery offers a pathway to those who need it to renewed confidence and lifelong smiles.
