JAW SURGERY

If a patient has an improper bite, uneven jaw growth, or other jaw issues, you may need orthognathic, or jaw, surgery. Our oral surgeon may also recommend this service to those whose teeth do not adequately fit within the jaw. Oftentimes, orthodontic care is required in conjunction with jaw surgery in Eagle, Idaho, to straighten teeth and repositions the misaligned jaw. Please call Eagle Oral Surgery and Implant Center at (208) 995-2865 to schedule your visit with Dr. Jeremy Hixson. You can learn more about how jaw surgery can improve your facial appearance and ensure that your teeth function properly.

Jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, may be needed if your oral health, function and appearance are affected by problems that cannot be corrected through more conservative treatments. Surgical treatment may be needed to correct abnormalities in the teeth, jaws or facial bones. It is especially important to receive the treatment you need if these abnormalities are causing difficulties in speaking, chewing, eating, sleeping or other routine activities. In addition to making these activities easier and more comfortable, jaw surgery can help to improve your oral appearance and even the appearance of your overall facial profile.
