Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, addresses skeletal irregularities of the jaw bones to improve both function and facial aesthetics. Dr. Barkin works closely with orthodontists to plan and execute these life-changing procedures.

This surgery can correct problems with chewing, speaking, and breathing, while also improving facial appearance and balance.
