Bite abnormalities and jaw misalignment

A good and harmonious relationship between your jaws is essential for functionality and aesthetics. Problems may arise if the lower jaw and upper jaw do not relate to each other as they should, for example due to an overdeveloped lower jaw or an underdeveloped upper jaw.

Some of these problems may already affect you today, while others will only get visibly worse with time. For this reason, corrective jaw surgery can be performed both at a young age and later in life. Jaw corrections are always performed in close cooperation with an orthodontist and are often accompanied by a period during which fixed braces have to be worn. A jaw correction not only corrects the bite, but can also significantly improve the facial aesthetics and even solve serious snoring and airway problems.
