Sleep Apnea
People who have sleep apnea never get the rest that they deserve. They have trouble breathing which constantly wakes them up throughout the night. Many people who have sleep apnea have multiple health problems. They are always exhausted. Being tired can affect people at home and at work. They may be miserable and have trouble concentrating. Sleep apnea can also affect their blood pressure, making them more likely to have strokes. There is a big risk with anesthesia since they have trouble breathing.

Jaw Surgery (Orthognathics)
Orthognathic (jaw) surgery is performed to correct a wide range of skeletal and dental irregularities, including jaw misalignment, facial imbalances, and bite problems. Conditions such as overbites, underbites, and sleep apnea can be treated with jaw surgery, restoring both function and aesthetics. This procedure involves repositioning the upper, lower, or both jaws to improve breathing, speaking, and chewing, as well as enhancing the overall appearance of the face.
At Dental Airway, we work with expert oral and maxillofacial surgeons to provide orthognathic surgery that addresses both the functional and cosmetic concerns of jaw misalignment. Combining advanced surgical techniques with cutting-edge technology, we ensure that you receive the highest level of care.
When is Jaw Surgery Necessary?
- Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking
- Chronic jaw pain or TMJ disorders
- Significant bite misalignment
- Obstructive sleep apnea
Orthognathic surgery can greatly enhance your quality of life by improving jaw function, facial balance, and self-confidence.
