What is orthodontic or "orthognathic" surgery?
Orthognathic surgery—also known as corrective jaw surgery—is a collaborative procedure that combines orthodontics with oral surgery to correct misalignments in the jawbones that can’t be addressed with braces or Invisalign alone. This type of surgery may be recommended for adults or teens dealing with issues like chronic jaw pain, facial asymmetry, difficulty chewing, or obstructive sleep apnea. By realigning the jaws, we’re not just improving the bite—we’re enhancing function, health, and facial harmony in a lasting way.
Improved bite & function
By correcting underlying skeletal imbalances, orthognathic surgery can dramatically improve your ability to chew, speak, and breathe comfortably.
Facial balance & aesthetics
Surgical jaw correction enhances facial symmetry and balance—often with subtle but powerful changes that bring harmony to your profile.
Long-term health benefits
Aligning the jaws can help relieve TMJ discomfort, reduce chronic headaches, and even address sleep-related issues like snoring or sleep apnea.

Real patients,
real results
Your journey starts with a consultation with Dr. Travis or Dr. Jen. They’ll perform a thorough exam, take digital X-rays and impressions, and discuss your goals.
Before surgery, we’ll use braces or Invisalign to align your teeth and prepare your bite. This phase usually lasts 6–12 months and ensures the best possible outcome from your jaw surgery.
Once you’re ready, the procedure will be performed right here in our office. We’ll handle all the scheduling, imaging, and coordination to keep the process smooth and stress-free. Most surgeries are outpatient and include general anesthesia for your comfort.
After surgery, we’ll continue treatment to fine-tune your bite and ensure long-term stability. Dr. Travis or Dr. Jen will personally guide your recovery with regular check-ins and customized adjustments.
