My bite is off and my chin sits back, is jaw surgery the answer? Photo attached.
Possibly, orthognathic surgery corrects both bite and facial balance. We plan it in 3D, usually alongside orthodontics, after a full assessment.
Surgical
Correcting jaw alignment for function and facial balance.
Our jaw and oral surgery department covers everything from corrective jaw (orthognathic) surgery to apical resection, cyst removal, and routine and surgical tooth extractions, including impacted wisdom teeth.
Orthognathic surgery realigns the upper and/or lower jaw to resolve bite problems, breathing difficulties and facial asymmetry. It is planned in 3D, performed by a board-certified maxillofacial surgeon, and usually coordinated with orthodontic treatment to finalise the bite.
Smaller surgical procedures, apicoectomy to save a tooth after failed root-canal treatment, cyst enucleation, and difficult or impacted extractions, are carried out under local anaesthesia or sedation, with careful planning to protect the surrounding nerves and tissues.
