Dr. Stosich Orthognathic Surgery

Comments: What Is Orthognathic Surgery? It is the surgical correction of growth abnormalities of the upper and/or lower jaw, when jaws don't meet correctly or teeth seem misfit with jaws. Orthodontics straightens the teeth for the patient and Orthognathic Surgery repositions the jaws in correct alignment. Who Needs Orthognathic Surgery? Those with improper bite or improperly positioned jaws benefit greatly from this surgery. In some instances, through the growth process, the upper and lower jaws may grow at different rates. That creates a number of problems that effect daily life - even minute by minute. Chewing function. Speech. Appearance. Long-term oral health and sleep apnea. While Orthodontics alone can correct bite problems when only the teeth are involved, Dr. Stosich has the expertise required to reposition the jaws. This life changing surgery can correct significant underbites, overbites, open bites and facial imbalance. Call 801-566-5117 to set up a consultation.
