Treating Jaw Misalignment with Orthognathic Surgery

Jaw misalignment can affect chewing, speech, and facial balance.

Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, realigns the jaws to improve function and aesthetics.

Dr. Jorge L. Parra specializes in these procedures at First Dental Implant Clinic.

 

The condition may be congenital or result from trauma or growth imbalances.

Common symptoms include difficulty biting, chronic jaw pain, sleep apnea, and an uneven smile.

 

 

A thorough assessment helps determine whether orthodontics alone or surgery combined with orthodontics is needed.

Dr. Parra collaborates with orthodontists to plan the treatment.

Using 3D imaging and computer-guided planning, the surgery is highly precise and tailored to each patient.

Recovery typically takes a few weeks, and the results can be life-changing.

Corrective jaw surgery improves both functionality and confidence.

Patients experience better oral health, speech, and facial harmony.

Dr. Parra guides each patient through the entire process with compassionate, expert care.

What Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery? A Patient’s Guide

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) is a highly specialized field that combines dental knowledge with surgical expertise to diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and neck.

 

It bridges the gap between dentistry and medicine, and plays a key role in both functional and aesthetic rehabilitation.

 

One of the most common procedures performed by maxillofacial surgeons is the removal of impacted wisdom teeth.

 

 

 

 

But the field goes far beyond extractions—it includes reconstructive surgery following trauma, corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery), treatment of oral pathology such as cysts and tumors, and the placement of dental implants.

 

In many cases, OMS also encompasses complex facial reconstruction and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery.

 

Dr. Jorge L. Parra brings years of experience and state-of-the-art surgical training to every patient interaction. At First Dental Implant Clinic in Mexico City, he carefully evaluates each case, using digital imaging and diagnostics to plan precise surgical interventions.

 

This tailored approach ensures optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.

 

 

Maxillofacial surgery is often the key to resolving chronic pain, improving oral function, restoring facial symmetry, or replacing lost teeth with permanent dental implants.

 

It also supports other dental treatments by correcting underlying skeletal issues.

 

Whether the goal is health, aesthetics, or both, Dr. Parra and his team provide comprehensive care grounded in compassion and excellence.

 

At First Dental Implant Clinic, we believe in educating our patients and empowering them to make informed decisions.

 

We welcome you to explore how oral and maxillofacial surgery can transform your health and confidence.
