    Jaw surgery typically shouldn't change the voice but it may alter your phonetics as the position of the teeth will change as the jaws are moved into their correct positions. Most patients don't notice the difference, the ones that do are very subtle. For select patients, speech therapy can be helpful after. READ MORE

  • Can I get jaw surgery after braces?

    Jaw surgery is traditionally completed after dental "decompensation" orthodontics, or braces. This means your teeth will be orthodontically moved to their ideal positions within the upper/lower jaws and surgery is then completed to move the jaws in the correct places along with the teeth. For select cases patients may be candidates for jaw surgery first to improve the overall facial appearance first before having orthodontics afterwords to fine tune the teeth positions. READ MORE

  • Is jaw surgery risky for infection?

    Jaw surgery is very safe and predictable way to correct the malocclusion and the facial deformity. Infections are rare but can occur, since all the incisions are in the mouth and you'll be eating as well. With diligent hygiene and taking precautions after surgery the chances should be very minimal. READ MORE

  • How long is the hospital stay after jaw surgery?

    Hospital stay depends on the extent of the surgery (one jaw v two jaws) and your medical history but for otherwise healthy individuals, one or two days. READ MORE
