Will treatment of my maligned teeth change my jaw alignment?

Ans. Not necessarily. Correction of misaligned teeth or malocclusion gives no or has a low impact on jaw. It will definitely improve your jaw line. Because balanced and aligned jaws are essential for normal function of chewing, pronunciations and maintaining oral hygiene. This treatment usually begins in the early age of 12-14 years. Malocclusion and misaligned teeth treatment may extend for 2 years or more and does not impact on the jaw. Repositioning or re-alignment of jaw may or may not require surgical intervention. In case of severe malocclusion, repositioning of jaw can be done by orthognathic surgery in Mumbai to get the desired results.
