Patient experiences in their own words
Support a healthier bite and better movement
Alignment affects the way you chew, speak, breathe, and move your mouth throughout the day. When the upper and lower jaws do not meet properly, patients may experience discomfort, difficulty eating, uneven tooth wear, or changes in facial balance. Orthognathic jaw surgery is designed to reposition them so they can function together more comfortably and naturally.
At our surgical center, we begin with a detailed evaluation of your bite, facial structure, airway, symptoms, and treatment goals. This helps our team determine whether jaw surgery may be the right option and whether your care should involve lower jaw surgery, upper jaw surgery, double jaw surgery, or another form of correction.
During your consultation, we will review your imaging, discuss your concerns, and explain the recommended process in straightforward language. Our goal is to help Ayer patients understand their options and feel prepared before moving forward with treatment.
Concerns jaw surgery may address
Overbite
An overbite can cause the upper teeth to sit too far over the lower teeth, creating strain when chewing or closing the mouth. Upper jaw surgery may help when the issue is connected to the position.
Underbite
When the bottom part extends too far forward, it can affect facial balance, speech, bite function, and comfort. Lower jaw surgery can help bring the bite into better alignment.
Open bite
An open bite occurs when the teeth do not meet properly when the mouth closes. This can make biting, chewing, speaking clearly, or closing the mouth comfortably more difficult.
Chronic facial pain or TMJ disorder
Misalignment can contribute to headaches, facial soreness, clicking, popping, or tension around the joints. Orthognathic surgery may be considered when structural imbalance is part of the problem.
Obstructive sleep apnea
Alignment can sometimes affect how comfortably the mouth and airway work together. For patients with certain structural concerns, surgical repositioning may help create better balance and support healthier breathing patterns.
Protruding chin or receding chin
Structure can influence the overall shape and balance of the bottom part of the face. When alignment issues affect both appearance and function, surgical procedure may help create a more natural relationship between the jaws and bite.
How orthognathic jaw surgery supports everyday comfort
A misalignment can make routine parts of the day feel harder than they should. Patients may struggle to bite into foods or open and close the mouth without strain. Over time, the extra pressure on the joints and surrounding muscles can lead to soreness or recurring discomfort.
Orthognathic surgery is used to address the underlying position, not just the way the teeth look. Some patients in Ayer may only need upper jaw surgery or lower jaw surgery, while others may benefit from double jaw surgery when both are involved. Your treatment recommendation is based on your scans, bite relationship, symptoms, and overall goals.
Our team also supports patients comparing nearby treatment options, including those learning more about lower jaw surgery in Groton or double jaw surgery in Chelmsford. Wherever you are starting from, we provide careful planning and a clear path forward.
Steps in your treatment journey
Preparing for your procedure
Before the procedure, orthodontic treatment may be needed to prepare the teeth for the new bite position. Our team uses advanced imaging to plan the jaw movement and coordinate the details of your care.
The day of surgery
On the day, your care takes place in a hospital with general anesthesia. The jaws are repositioned according to the surgical plan and secured with small screws and plates to help support proper healing.
Recovery and ongoing care
Your follow-up appointments give us a chance to check your recovery, make sure your bite is settling properly, and keep your orthodontic care on track if further alignment is part of your plan.
Planning technology
Digital tools for more accurate care
Careful preparation helps make jaw correction surgery more precise and easier to understand before treatment begins. Our team uses 3D cone beam scans and digital planning tools to study the jaw, bite, airway, and surrounding facial structures in detail.
When appropriate, we can also use in-office 3D printing to create custom surgical guides and other planning resources. This helps us personalize care for Ayer patients, as well as those learning more about jaw surgery in Massachusetts.
With advanced imaging and experienced surgical planning, Dr. Garibyan and Dr. Kuang can walk patients through what the procedure may involve and how recovery is typically managed.
