Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery - Farmington Hill, MI
Corrective Jaw Surgery Near Me
Some bite problems are caused by the position of the teeth alone, while others are the result of differences in the size or position of the upper and lower jaws. When the jaws are significantly misaligned, orthodontic treatment alone may not be enough to achieve the healthiest, most functional result.
For these patients, a combination of orthodontic treatment and orthognathic (jaw) surgery may be recommended.
When Is Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery Needed?
Orthognathic (jaw) surgery may be considered for adults whose jaw growth is complete and who have significant skeletal differences that cannot be corrected with braces or clear aligners alone.
Jaw surgery may be recommended for patients with:
- Severe overbites or underbites
- Open bites
- Facial asymmetry
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Speech concerns related to jaw position
- Chronic jaw discomfort in some cases
- Certain airway concerns when appropriate
Not every patient with these conditions requires surgery. During your consultation, we’ll determine whether orthodontic treatment alone or a combination of orthodontics and jaw surgery is the most appropriate option.
Our Role in Jaw Surgery Treatment
At Aspire Orthodontics, we work closely with experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons throughout every stage of treatment.
Before surgery, we use braces or clear aligners to position your teeth so your jaws can be moved into their ideal relationship during surgery. After surgery, we continue orthodontic treatment to refine your bite and achieve the best possible functional and aesthetic result.
This coordinated approach helps ensure that both your bite and facial balance are optimized.
Comprehensive Treatment Planning
Every jaw surgery case begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We use advanced digital imaging, including CBCT when appropriate, along with digital treatment planning to carefully evaluate your teeth, jaws, facial proportions, and bite.
Dr. Jason Sherbel completed his Master’s thesis in virtual surgical planning for orthognathic surgery, providing advanced training in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and interdisciplinary management of complex jaw surgery cases.
We’ll explain all of your treatment options, answer your questions, and coordinate your care with your oral surgeon throughout the entire process. Our goal is not simply to straighten your teeth, but to create a healthy bite, balanced facial aesthetics, and long-term function through careful planning and coordinated care.
