Achieve a properly aligned, balanced, and functional jaw with expert dentofacial surgery.
Orthognathic (Jaw) Plastic Surgery
A poor dental relationship can be more than a cosmetic tooth issue. Often, misaligned upper and lower teeth can be the first indication that there is a facial discrepancy present. Rebalancing this malocclusion often results in improving the facial profile, features, and surrounding structures. This will often be planned with imaging, computerized surgical simulation, dental models and casts, and 3D printing.
Dr. Chang uses the most up-to-date medical technology to deliver precise results where millimeters count. Some of the facial structures that can be resolved at our practice in the Washington, DC, area include:
- Overlarge chin structure
- Undersized chin structure
- Uneven jaw structure
- Overbite/Underbite
- Receding lower jaw
Surgery is performed at one of our fully accredited hospitals, and usually an overnight stay is recommended. While you are recovering, a liquid diet will be encouraged, and ice and other medications will be used to minimize swelling and expedite your healing as fast as possible.
