Your jaws are integral not just to eating, but to speaking and yawing, as well. Most people don’t give a lot of thought to jaw function and its importance, at least not until there is a problem. Orthognathic surgery is designed to realign jaws that have fallen out of sync with each other. And when you need this procedure, we at Northwestern Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, PC are your specialists where you can get it done with the expertise to inspire your full confidence in the result.
There are signs that you should take note of, because they are indications that you may benefit from the help of our Chicago orthognathic surgeon. An open bite, protruding jaw, difficulties breathing, speech problems, trouble swallowing, clicking sounds, jaw clenching, or a previous diagnosis of TMJ disorder are all associated. When you come in for an examination, our Chicago orthognathic surgeon will do a visual inspection of your jaws and face, as well as taking images. Your medical history is taken into account, including injuries or environmental factors that might be linked to your problem. Once a diagnosis has been made, the next step is to take a more extensive and comprehensive set of images. You can even see what the outcome is going to look like ahead of time. The procedure is tailored to your specific situation and needs. For some people, the focus is on the upper jaw. For others, it is the lower jaw, or perhaps both. Depending on the circumstances and the severity, you may be able to have the surgery done outpatient. A hospital stay is possible, however. Complete recovery can be expected in about 3 to 6 weeks.
Come in and see our Chicago orthognathic surgeon for an examination, evaluation, and treatment for your jaws so that you can regain normal function of them.
