Jaw Surgery

Dr. Mann performs corrective orthognathic (jaw) surgery to correct a wide range of skeletal irregularities, resulting in the misalignment of a patient’s teeth and jaws. In conjunction with braces from your Orthodontist, corrective jaw surgery can help improve a patient’s ability to speak, eat, and breathe. Conditions that may require orthognathic surgery include:

• Unbalanced facial appearance
• Open bite
• Protruding jaw or chin
• Difficulty chewing or biting down on food
• Difficulty swallowing
• Chronic TMJ (jaw joint) pain or headaches
• Sleep apnea

Dr. Mann will work with patients to determine the best treatment options for their unique case, and provide them the information needed to understand the process from consultation to surgery to recovery.
