Jaw Surgery & TMJ Treatment in Columbus, OH
Jaw problems show up as more than pain , a bite that doesn’t meet, difficulty chewing, chronic jaw clicking or locking, facial asymmetry, or sleep-disordered breathing. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the specialists trained to evaluate both the conservative and surgical sides of these conditions.
What to know about corrective jaw surgery
TMJ evaluation first
Many TMJ cases improve with conservative care , splints, physical therapy, medication, and habit changes. Surgery is considered only when imaging and symptoms justify it.
Corrective (orthognathic) surgery
When the jaws themselves are misaligned, surgery repositions them to improve bite, function, and airway , usually planned together with your orthodontist.
3D surgical planning
Modern planning uses 3D imaging and models so movements are mapped before the day of surgery, often in a hospital setting with anesthesia care.
Who is this for?
- Patients whose bite can’t be corrected with braces alone
- Anyone with persistent jaw pain, locking, or clicking that hasn’t responded to conservative care
- Patients referred for jaw-related breathing or asymmetry concerns
What does it cost in Columbus?
