CORRECTIVE JAW SURGERY 😁
⠀⠀
The development of facial bones affect oral health and facial appearance. The size and position of facial bones and teeth affect how effectively a person bites, chews and speaks.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Any of the following symptoms may indicate a need for corrective jaw surgery:⠀⠀
⠀⠀
🔸Difficulty chewing or biting food⠀⠀
🔸Difficulty swallowing⠀⠀
🔸Chronic jaw pain⠀⠀
🔸Excessive wearing of teeth⠀⠀
🔸Open bite (a space between upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed)⠀⠀
🔸Overbite or under-bite⠀⠀
🔸Unbalanced facial appearance⠀⠀
🔸Facial injury or a defect from birth⠀⠀
🔸Correction of these problems will improve function and may also improve facial esthetics.⠀⠀
