Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery or corrective jaw surgery, corrects misalignment of the jaw bones. It also helps with activities like chewing and swallowing. Orthognathic surgery can even improve your profile and facial appearance. 

Jaw surgery is usually done in combination with braces, Invisalign, or some other orthodontic procedure. Jaw surgery and braces is a great option for patients who have significant bite problems that may not be able to be fixed with orthodontics alone.

But you don’t have to worry about making this decision on your own. Orthodontists will work with an oral surgeon to best determine the treatment plan that is right for each patient. The orthodontist generally handles the braces or Invisalign portion, while the oral surgeon performs the operation.

But don’t worry, in this video Dr. Ty talks more about Orthognathic surgery and if you will need it!
