Living with a misaligned bite can do more than just affect your appearance—it can impact your ability to chew, speak, and maintain oral health. Bite Correction Surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to correct jaw misalignment and improve both function and aesthetics.
Whether it’s an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, this surgery can provide a permanent solution for individuals looking to regain balance, comfort, and confidence.
What is Bite Correction Surgery?
Bite correction surgery involves repositioning the upper and/or lower jaw to ensure proper alignment between the teeth and jaws. The goal is not just cosmetic enhancement but also restoring the bite’s functionality for long-term oral health.
This procedure is often recommended for individuals whose bite issues cannot be corrected through orthodontics (braces) alone.
Common Reasons for Bite Correction
- Difficulty chewing or biting food
- Speech difficulties
- Chronic jaw or TMJ pain
- Excessive tooth wear
- Facial imbalance or asymmetry
- Open mouth posture
- Breathing issues due to jaw positioning
Types of Jaw Misalignments Treated
- Overbite – When the upper jaw significantly overlaps the lower jaw.
- Underbite – When the lower jaw juts out past the upper jaw.
- Crossbite – When some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth.
- Open Bite – When the upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed.
The Surgical Process
The procedure usually requires detailed planning with imaging and models. Bite correction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and may involve repositioning the jawbones to align with the bite.
In most cases, the surgery is combined with orthodontic treatment (braces or aligners) before and after to ensure optimal results. Recovery can take several weeks, but most patients return to their routine with improved function and facial symmetry.
