Orthognathic
Surgery
When a person has completed their skeletal growth and there is a
large discrepancy in the jaw relationship (the size of the jaws),
sometimes the only treatment option is a combination of orthodontics
and a surgical procedure on one or both jaws to correct the
problems. The orthodontist will move the teeth to their best
positions in each jaw and the oral surgeon will surgically move the
jaws so they are correctly aligned.
