Orthognathic Surgery

If your jaw is in an unhealthy position that cannot be treated with orthodontic appliances, then Dr. Jason Howell may need to perform orthognathic surgery. Through this procedure, our orthodontist will improve your bite and help to create a healthier you. Contact our team at Howell Orthodontics if you want to learn more about orthognathic surgery in Meridian, Idaho.

Jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, may be needed if your oral health, function and appearance are affected by problems that cannot be corrected through more conservative treatments. Surgical treatment may be needed to correct abnormalities in the teeth, jaws or facial bones. It is especially important to receive the treatment you need if these abnormalities are causing difficulties in speaking, chewing, eating, sleeping or other routine activities. In addition to making these activities easier and more comfortable, jaw surgery can help to improve your oral appearance and even the appearance of your overall facial profile.

At our office, we use the latest technology, techniques and materials to ensure that you achieve the best possible results. Before your treatment, we will review the procedure with you and show you the details of the treatment so you can feel comfortable with the care you receive at our office. You can rest assured that our team will provide you with a comfortable, positive experience. Following orthognathic surgery, you may need another treatment to help you reach optimal results.
