Do You Need Corrective Jaw Surgery?

  • Do You Need Corrective Jaw Surgery?

Do you have problems biting or chewing your food? Do you suffer from persistent jaw joint pain (TMJ)? Do you snore in your sleep? If so, you may be a candidate for corrective jaw surgery.

What Is Corrective Jaw Surgery?
Corrective jaw surgery is performed by your orthodontist and an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. It will help correct a wide range of irregularities with your jaw or teeth which can improve chewing, speaking, and breathing.

What Is Involved In Corrective Jaw Surgery?
Corrective jaw surgery may reposition all or parts of the upper jaw, lower jaw, and chin. In some cases, bone may be added, taken away, or reshaped. Surgical plates, screws, wires, and rubber bands may be used to hold your jaws in their new positions.

Enjoy The Benefits!
The results of this surgery can have a dramatic and positive effect on many aspects of your life. It moves your teeth and jaw into positions that are more balanced, functional, and healthy – and some patients experience enhancements to their appearance as well.

Every mouth is different; every bite is different; and every patient takes their own carefully created path to a beautiful, healthy smile. If corrective jaw surgery is the next step for you, Dr. Speaks and his staff at Speaks Orthodontics are here to help! Our family of patients is our greatest asset, and we care about the entire patient, not just their teeth. Visit our website to learn more, or call us at (720) 513-3743. We’re conveniently located just minutes from downtown Denver, LoDo, LoHi, Wheatridge, Edgewater, Lakewood, and Arvada.

I was nervous about getting braces as an adult, but my experience with Speaks was excellent. The 2 ½ years went by quickly. Dr. Speaks and the staff were clear about the timeline and what I needed to do to ensure a good outcome. I got my braces off last year, a few days before my 30th birthday, and I’m still very happy with the results!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that your experience at Speaks Orthodontics was positive and that you’re thrilled with your results. Enjoy your beautiful smile!
Melissa C.
My experience from start to finish with my orthodontic treatment at Speaks Orthodontics has been wonderful. Having to go back into orthodontics in your 30s isn’t ideal, but the team here made it smooth and comfortable. The free consultation was detailed and unhurried. The office is clean and comfortable. Every staff member is kind and helpful. Dr. Speaks’ bedside manner is top-notch, and not only did I get my teeth alignment fixed, he also helped me with evening my gumline out with a laser gingivectomy as part of my treatment. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for orthodontic treatment.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Melissa! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with our team and Dr. Speaks exceeded your expectations. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again!
