How to correct a deviated jaw

Orthodontic or orthopedic treatment is needed to combine with the patient’s own condition. 1. Orthodontic treatment: Orthodontic treatment is mainly applicable to children with bony deviation during the growth and development period. Orthodontic treatment combined with orthopedic treatment can correct mild bony deviation during development. Orthodontic treatment mainly includes aligning the teeth, leveling the dental arches, coordinating the maxillary and mandibular dental arches, de-compensating the teeth and adjusting the dental planes. 2. Orthodontic surgery: For patients with bony asymmetry after growth and development have stopped, orthodontic treatment combined with orthopedic surgery is often needed. Corrective surgery is mainly based on the bony deviation deformity, and corrects the facial deviation through various methods such as bone removal, debridement, bone grafting and bone padding. When deviation of the face occurs, one should go to a regular hospital for consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
