Jaw Surgery
Jaw Surgery
Growth of the cranio-facial skeleton can be variable, and abnormal growth of the jaws can cause an abnormal bite which in turn can lead to difficulties with eating, facial imbalance or sleep disordered breathing (such as obstructive sleep apnoea). These facial skeletal problems can be very effectively treated with corrective jaw surgery which is usually undertaken in combination with orthodontic (braces) treatment.
How we do it:
OMS Specialists have a subspecialty interest in corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery). Richard Cobb completed the Melbourne Orthognathic Fellowship and has considerable experience and expertise in this area. He works with specialist orthodontists to give the very best facial and dental outcomes and he plans complex cases using 3D Virtual Surgical Planning software to optimise the predictability of outcome. Ryan is also experienced in and enjoys orthognathic surgery.
