Jaw Surgery – Correcting Jaw Alignment for Improved Function and Aesthetics in Jacksonville, FL

Corrective jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, is a procedure that realigns the jaws to improve function, appearance, and facial balance. At Natural Teeth Implant Center, we specialize in advanced jaw surgery techniques to address issues such as bite misalignment, difficulty chewing, and facial asymmetry. Our team is dedicated to providing safe, precise care, ensuring a comfortable experience and a successful outcome.

What Is Corrective Jaw Surgery?

Corrective jaw surgery involves repositioning the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both to create a properly aligned, functional bite. This procedure is often necessary for patients with jaw irregularities that affect chewing, speaking, and facial symmetry. Misaligned jaws can lead to discomfort, difficulty with everyday activities, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.

Jaw surgery not only restores function but also enhances facial aesthetics, creating a balanced, harmonious appearance. Our skilled team works closely with each patient to design a treatment plan that aligns with their goals, ensuring optimal results.
