jaw surgery 
If you need a little more help than orthodontics can provide, your provider may recommend surgery for your jaw. This can be a necessity either due to your genetics or injury, and it can also be beneficial in a number of ways. An unbalanced smile can create additional wear in certain areas, leading to further misalignment and malocclusion or enamel erosion on particular teeth. If
your provider has recommended surgery, it is because your current jaw location is harmful to the health of your smile. With our team of

There are different reasons why people experience imbalances with their jaw alignment and positioning. Developmental concerns can be at the root of this problem, but in some cases, it arises as a consequence of physical trauma.
