For some individuals, the problem can be corrected without jaw surgery through the use of orthodontics. If the problem is severe, the orthodontist will need to work with an oral surgeon to correct the bite with orthognathic surgery.<\/p>\n<p>While the goal of\u00a0<strong>orthognathic surgery<\/strong>\u00a0is to correct the functional problem with the jaw, this procedure also results in improved aesthetics and facial proportions. Patients who opt to undergo corrective\u00a0<strong>jaw surgery<\/strong>\u00a0can expect to see a multitude of benefits, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improved chewing, speech, and respiratory function<\/li>\n<li>Decreased likelihood of short- and long-term relapse<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced facial harmony, balance, and aesthetic appearance<\/li>\n<li>Minimal treatment time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/products.pbhs.com\/human_touch\/orthognathics\/\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOrthognathic Surgery Presentation Video\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p>The doctors and surgical staff at Indianapolis Oral Surgery &amp; Dental Implant Center are uniquely trained and proficient at performing corrective surgery and thoroughly enjoy seeing the positive transformations that result from orthognathic treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Do I Need Corrective Jaw Surgery?<\/h2>\n<p>Misaligned jaws can cause numerous problems inside the mouth and to the facial structure, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The inability to properly chew and grind food<\/li>\n<li>Digestive problems<\/li>\n<li>Dental crowding<\/li>\n<li>Poor oral hygiene<\/li>\n<li>Increased risk of dental caries and periodontal disease<\/li>\n<li>Shorter tooth lifespan<\/li>\n<li>Snoring and sleep apnea<\/li>\n<li>The inability to fully close the lips<\/li>\n<li>Heavy breathing<\/li>\n<li>Impaired speech function<\/li>\n<li>Poor facial aesthetics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many of these problems can have serious consequences on the overall health of the mouth and face. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that irregularities of the jaw are diagnosed and treated early to temper the risks of this condition.<\/p>\n<h2>Am I a Candidate for Corrective Jaw Surgery?<\/h2>\n<p>Many patients who are candidates for orthognathic surgery are already aware of the issue; they just do not know that there is a treatment to correct their problem.<\/p>\n<p>If you experience any of the following problems, you may be a candidate for corrective jaw surgery:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Speech problems, breathing problems, or sleep apnea<\/li>\n<li>Significantly protruding upper or lower jaw<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty biting, chewing, or swallowing<\/li>\n<li>Receding chin<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty closing your lips comfortably<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you think that you may be a candidate for corrective jaw surgery, we encourage you to contact our office for an initial consultation. Dr. Falender has undergone extensive surgical training and education that make him uniquely qualified to examine and treat abnormalities of the facial skeleton. If he determines that you are a candidate, he will work hand in hand with your orthodontist to plan and execute your procedure.<\/p>\n<p>When you choose to undergo orthognathic surgery, your orthodontist will prepare your jaw with braces before the procedure. Then, the team at Indianapolis Oral Surgery &amp; Dental Implant Center will separate your jaw, move the bones to their new permanent position, and secure them in place. After surgery but before removing your braces, your orthodontist will make any small, fine corrections needed to finish the bite.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you may be in need of this procedure, we invite you to schedule a consultation at our office in Indianapolis, IN. Our well-trained office staff and highly skilled surgical team are happy to help in any way possible to restore your oral function.<\/p>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"932\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w_OBQYEzOXg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\t<p>To learn more about how we can help improve your smile, please request an appointment now.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/indianapolisoralsurgery.com\/request-appointment\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRequest Appointment\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n<h2>\n\t\tSCHEDULE A CONSULTATION\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Please contact our office by either filling out the form below or by calling us at 317-900-4535<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/indianapolisoralsurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/About-Our-Pracitce-in-Indianapolis-IN-Indianapolis-Oral-Surgery-Dental-Implant-Center.jpg\" alt=\"About-Our-Pracitce-in-Indianapolis-IN-Indianapolis-Oral-Surgery-Dental-Implant-Center\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1080\" width=\"1920\" title=\"About-Our-Pracitce-in-Indianapolis-IN-Indianapolis-Oral-Surgery-Dental-Implant-Center\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<h3>Indianapolis Oral Surgery &amp; Dental Implant Center<\/h3>\n1320 N.
