Misconceptions About Orthognathic Surgery
Many patients are reluctant to undergo corrective jaw surgery because of misconceptions about the procedure, such as:
- Jaw surgery is very painful with a long recovery time: The truth is that advances in surgical techniques and pain management have made the surgery more manageable and greatly reduced the recovery time.
- The procedure is free of risk: The truth is that all surgical procedures carry a risk, but the benefits of jaw surgery usually outweigh the risk factors.
- Corrective jaw surgery isn't necessary: The truth is that this procedure can correct issues that will adversely impact the patient's quality of life.
- Jaw surgery is only for adults: The truth is that sometimes children and teens can benefit from jaw surgery, and it can prevent future problems before they become more severe.
- Jaw surgery is only for aesthetics: The truth is that although it can improve the aesthetics of your jawline, its primary objective is to correct functional issues, such as bite problems, breathing issues, and speech difficulties.
Reasons to Have Jaw Surgery
If your jaw is misaligned, whether the cause is structural or due to trauma, then corrective surgery can restore function to your jaw. Then, you'll be able to resume activities you enjoy and eat your favorite foods once again. When you're happy with your appearance, your self-confidence and self-esteem will improve, and you'll smile more.
