Corrective Jaw Surgery Should Be More Than Just Aesthetics

In modern cosmetic culture, achieving a perfect physical appearance dominates the mainstream media. We, at Nevada OMS, however recognize that the real importance of corrective jaw surgery lies far beyond surface-level aesthetics. For many patients, it means having an invisible malocclusion that severely hampers them literally by getting in the way each day in their functions, development, and quality of life.


Conditions within the jaw, including under and overbites, are caused by genetic factors and oral habits during growth. Some issues might be due to missing teeth, injuries from before, or abnormal pressures on alignment. Such issues can be extremely hidden to most people but cause enormous physical and emotional pain once left untreated.

Beyond obvious facial imbalances, misaligned bites sabotage everyday routines like eating, speaking, sleeping, and hygiene tasks. Restricted movement strains chewing muscles endlessly compensating. Severe conditions trap airways depriving sleep and increasing disease risk. Without intervention, malocclusions halt the development of proper dental arches and airway spaces critical to health.

Poor jaw relation also causes loss of self-confidence and interference in relationships. A few have to keep their smiles hidden due to the fears of criticism. Others cannot speak clearly; thus, their education is affected and careers requiring communication skills as well. Chronic pain and headaches also further deteriorate the quality of life gradually.

These silent struggles deserve empathic acceptance and the right medical approach. Our surgeons of Nevada OMS acknowledge that jaw surgery is more than just aesthetic value-the impact on people’s lives can be visibly or invisibly tremendous, and we compassionately help patients fighting challenging conditions through expertise and partnership.

Corrective orthognathic surgery- precise cutting and repositioning of the upper and lower jaws to optimize the alignment, function, and balance facial harmony as an integrated system. Experienced oral surgeons such as Dr. Perez and Dr. Christensen may precisely execute Le Fort I, II, and III osteotomies or genioplasty with conscientious navigation around vital structures in order to achieve truly natural results long after their surgeries are completed.

While aesthetic outcomes encourage many to undertake this grueling journey of jaw surgery, our highest goal is an authentic change of health, comfort, and self-confidence through restored form and function. We focus on eliminating profound airway constriction, bringing the teeth into balanced relation, and diminishing pain – true root causes rather than superficial goals. Having attained proper occlusion, the smile merely spreads outward joy instead of hiding deeper suffering.

What’s unique at Nevada OMS is that patient needs always come before assembly lines. Using 3D imaging and computerized design, we create intricately detailed, tailored surgical plans for each patient based on their facial architecture and lifestyle goals. Patients with severe multi-factor conditions that really affect their quality of life cannot be managed appropriately through orthodontics alone. So in many cases, jaw surgery becomes the one-time opportunity to fix problems at the source by leveraging the particular maxillofacial expertise.

Since all of life lies ahead after treatment, investing in oneself through corrective surgery requires the greatest care and consideration. Our goal remains the nurturance of each patient’s courage through dedicated collaboration along their path to restored health, happiness, and self-belief. From expert assessment to laser-focused postoperative care, no concern is given less than its full attention. Here, aesthetics merely augments life-changing gains in function and medical advances under the scale of visible change.

Directly attacking orthognathic issues at their very core, Nevada OMS empowers lasting change through wholesome well-being – only viewable by the individual, yet profoundly affecting every joyful moment thereafter. For those buried under invisible struggles, we offer hope, expertise, and compassionate guidance toward wholeness on each remarkable journey.
