Orthognathic Surgery

A properly aligned jaw is essential for optimal oral health, comfortable function, and overall well-being. However, sometimes the growth of the upper and lower jaw can occur at different rates, leading to discrepancies in size and function. These discrepancies can result in malocclusions, or "bad bites," affecting the alignment of the teeth, speech, and chewing ability.

At Dr. Andy Bennion Orthodontics, we understand the importance of a properly aligned jaw and the impact malocclusions can have on a person's quality of life. That's why we offer orthognathic surgery services to correct jaw abnormalities and restore facial balance and function.

Orthognathic surgery involves moving the jaw into its proper position to align the teeth and improve the overall function of the bite. This surgical process may be performed in conjunction with orthodontic treatment to ensure the teeth are properly aligned both before and after surgery.

Our team uses state-of-the-art materials such as titanium plates and miniature screws to secure the jaw in its new position, reducing recovery time and allowing patients to return to their normal routines soon after surgery. During the recovery stage, wires and rubber bands may be used to provide additional stability while the jaw heals.

At Dr. Andy Bennion Orthodontics, we're committed to helping you achieve optimal oral health and a comfortable, functional bite. Our orthognathic surgery services, combined with our expert orthodontic care, provide a comprehensive solution for jaw correction and improving overall well-being. Orthodontic office locations include Eugene, Oregon and Junction City, Oregon.
