Take a Bite of the Easy Life

The jaw is a very important facial feature, both functionally and cosmetically. If misaligned, daily activities that would normally be performed without a second thought such as chewing, swallowing, and breathing may become challenging. At New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dental Implant Center, Dr. Mark Stein, D.D.S., M.D. offers orthognathic surgery in NYC, or jaw surgery, to correct the position of the jaw. A misaligned jaw can be the result of an injury, birth defect, or a discrepancy between the lower and upper jaw’s growth rates. Patients often suffer from chewing, biting, swallowing, and breathing difficulties, have speech problems, chronic jaw pain, chronic headaches, chronic dry mouth, or sleep apnea. Patients may also display telltale facial features which they would like corrected such as a protruding jaw, facial imbalance, a receding chin, or the inabilities to fully close the mouth. Dr. Stein uses the most advanced treatment options and surgical techniques at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dental Implant Center to provide lasting and satisfying results for all his patients, so whether your jaw misalignment was caused genetically or by an accident, Dr. Stein has the skill and experience to improve your jaw’s function and aesthetic appearance.
