When Is Jaw Surgery Needed? - Sedaros Oral Surgery

If you need jaw surgery in Melbourne, Florida then please give Sedaros Oral Facial Surgery & Dental Implants a call today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Sedaros.

Orthognathic surgery is a surgical procedure for the upper jaw when the jaws don’t meet correctly and/or teeth don’t seem to fit with jaws. Teeth are straightened with orthodontics and corrective jaw surgery repositions a misaligned jaw. This not only improves facial appearance, but also ensures that teeth meet correctly and function properly. How do you know if you could benefit from this surgery though? People who can benefit from orthognathic surgery include those with an improper bite or jaws that are positioned incorrectly.

If you have any of the following symptoms, you should schedule an appointment with our office to learn more about orthognathic surgery:

Difficulty in chewing, biting or swallowing
Speech problems
Chronic jaw or TMJ pain
Open bite
Protruding jaw
Breathing problems

Any of these symptoms can exist at birth, be acquired after birth as a result of hereditary or environmental influences, or as a result of trauma to the face. If you need an oral facial surgeon in Melbourne, Florida then please give Sedaros Oral Facial Surgery & Dental Implants a call today.
