This helps with everything from your oral health to your speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you need to about orthognathic surgery is the most common issues it\u2019s used to correct.

Multiple specialists consult on this type of complex surgery.

The bones are shortened or lengthened and moved around to create a more natural alignment for your jaws and teeth. The positioning will depend completely upon your unique facial structure and jaw condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know What To Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is today\u2019s digital imaging technology allows you to see what the final results will be.

You\u2019ll also know in advance how long you\u2019ll need to recover after the surgery. You will need to take time off from work or school to let your jaw recover. You\u2019ll also be on a special diet until you\u2019re able to chew normally again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoying Better Jaws<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve healed, enjoy the new you.
