Maxillofacial Surgery

Our maxilla facial surgeons are focused on treating problems related to the hard and soft tissues of the face, mouth, and jaws (the upper jaw is referred to as the maxilla). The maxillofacial surgery involves repositioning your jawbones according to your preferences. Bones are reshaped, added, or removed in some cases. During the surgery, your surgeon uses surgical plates, wires, screws, and rubber bands to hold the jaws in the new position. Most often, a maxillofacial surgery is performed by making the incision inside your mouth to reduce visible scarring. Despite that, some patients may require small incisions outside of the mouth on the face. With maxillofacial surgery, you may experience a dramatic enhancement of your facial appearance and speaking. Also, it can have positive effects on many other aspects of your life.
