| Orthognathic surgery is what an oral, maxillofacial or craniofacial surgeon does to reposition one or both jaws in the correction of a wide range of minor or major facial and jaw irregularities. In fact, moving the jaws also moves the teeth. Orthognathic surgery is usually done in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, so that the teeth are in proper position after surgery. In many cases, an enhanced facial appearance and a well balanced facial profile and symmetry can also result. |
