Jaw size or position differences that affect the bite, chewing or speech

Questions

Common questions.

Answers to be checked by the doctor

What kinds of facial deformity can be corrected?

Common examples include facial asymmetry, jaws that are too far forward or back, badly healed fractures, and changes after tumour or infection surgery. The right approach depends on the cause, so a detailed assessment comes first.

Do I need braces as well?

Often, yes, when the jaws are being moved. Braces line the teeth up so they meet properly once the jaw is in its new position.

Can children have this surgery?

Some problems are treated in childhood, but many corrections are timed after facial growth slows. Dr Sai Santosh will advise on the right timing.

Will there be visible scars?

Many jaw procedures are done from inside the mouth, so there are no outside scars. When an outside cut is needed, it is placed along natural skin lines where possible.
