Say goodbye to pain and bite problems
Orthognathic surgery is about getting your jaws into the right position. It’s a great choice for people who have bite problems or feel their face isn’t quite balanced. By carefully reshaping the jawbones, we can make a real difference in how you chew, speak, and even help with things like sleep apnea. We work closely with your orthodontist, so your teeth are perfectly aligned before and after surgery. Our jaw surgeons in Groton use 3D imaging to plan everything out, which means less scarring and better accuracy. What’s more, a lot of people find their face looks more balanced afterwards, which can significantly boost an individual’s confidence. Recovery involves regular check-ups to ensure proper teeth alignment and healing. With good planning and care, most patients find they have a lot less pain and just feel more comfortable day-to-day.
When you come in for a consultation, we’ll talk about what’s bothering you, look at your medical history, and see if lower and/or upper jaw surgery is the right step. We know this procedure can be a bit intimidating, so we’ll explain everything clearly and answer any questions you have. We want you to feel comfortable throughout the whole process, from the first appointment to your last follow-up. We fully focus on what you need and what you want to achieve, so we can get you results that not only fix your bite but also make your life better.
What can jaw surgery help with?
Overbite
If your upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, it can affect chewing and jaw health. Upper jaw surgery can make all the difference.
Underbite
A protruding lower jaw can cause speech difficulties and TMJ discomfort. Lower jaw surgery can improve both function and appearance.
Open bite
When front teeth don’t meet, it leads to chewing issues and speech clarity problems. This often requires surgical intervention.
Chronic facial pain or TMJ disorder
Persistent jaw pain, headaches, or jaw joint clicking may be due to misalignment. Jaw surgery can provide significant relief.
Obstructive sleep apnea
Jaw repositioning can improve airway obstruction and sleep quality for patients in Groton who struggle with sleep apnea.
Protruding chin or receding chin
A protruding or receding chin can affect facial symmetry and confidence. Upper or lower jaw surgery can create a more balanced profile.
Orthognathic jaw surgery makes chewing and eating effortless
Jaw misalignment can make chewing and speaking a serious challenge. When your teeth don’t align properly, breaking down food becomes tough, and that can lead to digestive problems like bloating or trouble absorbing nutrients. Your stomach and intestines essentially have to work overtime because your jaw isn’t doing its job right. Luckily, jaw correction surgery in Groton can fix that by improving your chewing, which makes digestion easier and can improve your gut health. Speaking can also be affected by jaw problems. If your jaw isn’t aligned, it can limit how your tongue moves, which makes it harder to pronounce certain words. Some people struggle to speak clearly or find they get tired when talking for a while. Jaw correction surgery can help with this too. Once our doctors move it into the right position, it should become easier to form words and speak normally. These improvements can make everyday things like eating and talking feel effortless and natural again.
When you come in for a consultation, our dedicated jaw surgeons in Groton will take a close look at how misalignment is affecting your chewing and speech. We’ll use detailed scans to get the full picture and figure out if we can help. Our team will be with you every step of the way, explaining everything clearly and making sure you understand all the benefits. Allow us to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your everyday life.
What happens during upper and lower jaw surgery
Before surgery
Your orthodontist aligns your teeth in preparation, while our jaw surgeon uses 3D scans to plan how the jaws will be repositioned.
During surgery
Under general anesthesia in a hospital setting, we carefully adjust the jawbones and secure them with plates and screws.
After surgery
You’ll have follow-up visits and possibly continued orthodontic care to ensure proper healing and maintain the new alignment.
Our technology
Smarter procedure with high-tech 3D navigation
We use advanced 3D cone beam imaging and navigation systems to get the clearest possible picture of your jaw before orthognathic surgery in Groton. This allows us to see your jaw structure from every angle, which helps us get a precise diagnosis, plan your surgery accurately, and make the whole procedure smoother. We even have our own 3D printer in the office, which lets us create custom guides and dental prosthetics quickly and efficiently. We’re committed to staying up-to-date with the latest technology because we believe it helps us provide better care and results you can trust.
