Types of Jaw Surgery

Jaw surgery may be performed on the upper jaw, lower jaw or both

The upper or lower jaw is precisely cut and moved into a new appropriate position and stabilized with a plating system designed by JW’s doctors.

After X-ray and 3D CT scans, our doctors will decide to make a customized surgical plan.

Upper Jaw (Maxillary Osteotomy) surgery:

Maxillary Osteotomy is for patients with an upper jaw deformity or an open bite. In this surgery the surgeon cuts the bone above the teeth and below both the eye sockets in order to make the entire upper jaw, roof of your mouth and upper teeth to move together as one unit.

The jaw is secured with titanium screws and plates that hold the bone in its new position. Over the time, these screws integrate into the bone structure and stay inside the mouth permanently.

Lower Jaw (Mandibular Osteotomy) surgery

Lower jaw benefits those who have a notably receded lower jaw. In this surgery, the incision is made behind the molars and lengthwise down the jawbone so the front of the jaw can move as one unit. As a result, the jaw slides smoothly to its new position. The jaw is stabilized using screws until the healing process is over.
