Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic)

Orthognathic surgery involves the surgical repositioning the top jaw, bottom jaw and/or chin in any direction to correct a functional or cosmetic problems. This is usually performed in conjunction with your orthodontist, as a period of braces is usually required to prepare and to supplement surgery.

Our surgeons are highly trained in orthognathic surgery. Mr. Richard Cobb has completed advanced fellowship training in Melbourne in this specific area of surgery. He is the only surgeon in Auckland (and one of two in New Zealand) who has completed this level of training.
