Jaw Surgery
Identify & Manage Oral Disease
Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, addresses a range of issues involving the jaw and facial bones. This procedure is often recommended to resolve structural problems that affect your bite, facial appearance, or overall jaw function. It can effectively treat conditions such as misaligned teeth, facial asymmetry, sleep apnea, and difficulties with chewing or speaking.
At Alpine Surgical Arts - Oral & Cosmetic Surgery, we're committed to transforming lives through orthognathic surgery. Drs. Arman Haghighi, Brian Rowan, and Syrus Haghighi use their extensive experience and expertise to restore both function and aesthetics for our patients. Reach out to us to learn more about how orthognathic surgery can benefit you and to schedule your consultation.
Benefits of Corrective Jaw Surgery
Enhanced Oral Function
If jaw misalignment is causing issues with speaking, chewing, or other oral functions, orthognathic surgery can address these problems, leading to improved overall function and health.
Facial Aesthetic Improvement
Correcting facial imbalances and asymmetry can restore facial harmony, boosting your confidence and enhancing your appearance.
Optimized Bite and Alignment
By correcting jaw misalignments, this surgery improves bite and occlusion, making chewing and biting more efficient while alleviating strain on the jaw.
Long-Lasting Results
When paired with orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery can offer durable solutions to jaw abnormalities, leading to lasting improvements.
How Orthognathic Surgery Works
The journey to orthognathic surgery begins with a thorough consultation with one of our board-certified oral surgeons. During this visit, Dr. Arman Haghighi, Dr. Brian Rowan, or Dr. Syrus Haghighi will conduct an oral examination and may utilize 3D scans to develop a tailored treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
On the day of your surgery, you will be given anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. Dr. Arman Haghighi, Dr. Brian Rowan, or Dr. Syrus Haghighi will make incisions inside your mouth to access the jawbones, avoiding visible external scarring. Depending on your unique condition, small plates, screws, or other fixation devices will be used to stabilize and secure the repositioned jawbones.
After making the necessary adjustments, the incisions will be closed with sutures.
Post-surgery, you might need to spend the night in the hospital for monitoring. The recovery period may involve some discomfort and swelling. You will likely have dietary restrictions and must adhere closely to the postoperative care instructions provided.
Your Anesthesia Options
Depending on your procedure, you will receive one of the following forms of anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
