A patient with advanced class 3 malocclusion selects a restorative alternative instead of a traditional surgical corrective jaw surgery procedure. This is an advanced case option for anyone who chooses to avoid jaw surgery or who’s lifestyle does not permit them to go through a surgical procedure that may take over 1 year to complete. Correct Jaw Surgery is also known as Orthognathic Surgery. The corrective jaw surgery procedure is only an option once all permanent teeth erupt. This usually occurs at about 18-years of age. Patients with a class 3 underbite or bilateral crossbites are ideal candidates for this type of restorative procedure. The corrective jaw surgery alternative can usually be completed in as little as two painless visits. No hospital stay or general anesthesia is required. The procedure is performed entirely under traditional local dental anesthesia. Patients who travel from other states or other countries can arrange to have their procedure performed in one week, if special arrangements are made in advance.
