Jaw Surgery

What is

Corrective Jaw Surgery?

If you find yourself struggling with activities like chewing, speaking, or even sleeping, you may need corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery). This type of procedure addresses and resolves abnormalities in the facial bones, especially those impacting the jaw and teeth. In addition to fixing functional issues, this surgery often enhances facial appearance.

Key Benefits of Corrective Jaw Surgery

  • Aligns the teeth and jaw into a more balanced position
  • Increases the functionality of the mouth and jaw
  • Improves overall bite
  • Enhances appearance of the face
  • Improves breathing and speech


Including the latest techniques in jaw surgery that Orland Park has to offer, our approach ensures thorough and lasting results.

How Does

Jaw Treatment Work?

At Orland Park Orthodontics, Dr. Sonneveld and our experienced team use the latest digital imaging and 3D modeling technology to plan your surgery with precision. Oral surgeons utilize advanced materials, including titanium plates and miniature screws, to ensure stability and optimal healing. These techniques help minimize recovery time, allowing most patients to resume their normal activities within a few weeks.

What To Expect

  1. Consultation & Planning: We perform a thorough assessment using digital scans and x-rays.
  2. Orthodontic Preparation: Braces or Invisalign may be recommended before and after surgery to achieve the best results.
  3. The Procedure: Surgery is performed under anesthesia by a board-certified oral surgeon, in collaboration with your orthodontist.
  4. Recovery: Initial healing takes about 2-3 weeks, with full bone healing over several months. We provide detailed aftercare and regular follow-ups for your safety.
  5. Transformation: Once healing is complete and braces are removed, you’ll see dramatic improvements in both function and appearance.
