Jaw Misalignment

2/21/2013

Comments

 
While simple procedures and treatments can be utilized to correct some bite or tooth misalignment, jaw misalignment is somewhat more serious and will usually require surgery.This jaw misalignment may be the result of injuries, birth defects or the  upper and lower jaws growing at different rates. Corrective surgery can be used to treat jaw misalignment - a consultation with Dr. Daniel Muff at Reno Oral Surgery should determine whether or not you are a candidate for jaw misalignment surgery. 

From the AAOMS website:


Following are some of the conditions that may indicate the need for corrective jaw surgery:
  • difficulty chewing, or biting food
  • difficulty swallowing
  • chronic jaw or jaw joint (TMJ) pain and headache
  • excessive wear of the teeth
  • open bite (space between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed)
  • unbalanced facial appearance from the front, or side
  • facial injury or birth defects
  • receding chin
  • protruding jaw
  • inability to make the lips meet without straining
  • chronic mouth breathing and dry mouth
  • sleep apnea (breathing problems when sleeping, including snoring)
