Expertly Planned, Life-Changing Jaw Correction with Dr. Azita Abbasi

At Top Nova Orthodontics, Dr. Azita Abbasi works closely with experienced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons to deliver comprehensive, personalized care for patients who require corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery. This advanced procedure is designed to correct skeletal and dental abnormalities that affect the alignment of the jaws and teeth.

What Is Corrective Jaw Surgery?

Orthognathic surgery addresses irregularities in the jawbones that can’t be corrected with orthodontics alone. These abnormalities often lead to functional issues such as:

• Difficulty chewing or biting food

• Speech problems

• Chronic jaw pain or TMJ dysfunction

• Sleep apnea and breathing issues

• Facial imbalance or asymmetry

In conjunction with orthodontic treatment, jaw surgery improves both the function and appearance of your bite and facial profile—leading to long-lasting health benefits and a more confident smile.

The Treatment Process

At Top Nova Orthodontics, we use a team-based, technology-driven approach to ensure your jaw surgery experience is smooth, precise, and successful.

1. Comprehensive Evaluation

Dr. Abbasi performs a detailed clinical and digital evaluation to assess the severity of jaw misalignment. She collaborates with board-certified oral surgeons to design a treatment plan that aligns with your functional and aesthetic goals.

2. Advanced Imaging & 3D Planning

Using cutting-edge digital imaging and 3D simulation software, we can visualize the expected changes in facial structure and function before the surgery even begins. This allows for highly customized and efficient planning, reducing risks and treatment time.

3. Pre-Surgical Orthodontics

Before surgery, you’ll undergo orthodontic treatment to align the teeth in preparation for jaw repositioning. This ensures that once the jaws are corrected, the bite fits together perfectly.

4. Surgical Correction

Your oral surgeon will reposition one or both jaws as needed, using state-of-the-art materials such as titanium plates and mini screws. These provide exceptional stability, durability, and predictability during the healing process.

5. Recovery & Post-Surgical Orthodontics

Thanks to modern surgical techniques and advanced materials, recovery times are shorter, with many patients returning to daily routines within a few weeks. Final orthodontic adjustments follow to fine-tune your bite and achieve optimal results.
