Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic Surgery (Corrective Jaw Surgery)
Advanced Treatment for Jaw and Bite Alignment
At Apex Orthodontics, we offer comprehensive treatment for patients with complex bite and jaw issues that can’t be corrected with braces or aligners alone. In certain cases, orthognathic surgery—also known as corrective jaw surgery or surgical orthodontics—may be necessary to achieve a functional bite and improve facial balance.
What Is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery is a specialised procedure that realigns the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both. It’s combined with orthodontic treatment before and after surgery to properly position the teeth and jaws for long-term health, function, and aesthetics.
The Benefits of Orthognathic Surgery
Beyond correcting function, jaw surgery can significantly enhance facial harmony and aesthetics, improving confidence and quality of life. At Apex Orthodontics, Dr Gwengo uses the latest digital tools to carefully plan your treatment with precision and predictability.
