Jaw Surgery: Correcting Skeletal Irregularities

In this episode of Oral Surgery Insights, Dr. Russ Lieblick and Dr. Brandon Rehrer break down corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, and explain when orthodontics alone isn’t enough. They walk through how jaw position affects chewing, speech, facial balance, TMJ health, and even sleep, and why collaboration between an orthodontist and oral surgeon is essential for lasting results.

From digital surgical planning to recovery expectations, this conversation demystifies a life-changing procedure and helps patients understand the journey from consultation to transformation.
