Orthognathic Surgery

In some cases, the jaws have grown too far apart and as an adult, the jaw position is fixed. This jaw discrepancy can be corrected by a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. This procedure can be life changing for those who suffer from very long lower jaw or very short lower jaw. https://www.massgeneral.org/children/oral-and-maxillofacial-surgery/benefits-of-corrective-jaw-surgery
