Corrective Jaw Surgery (orthognathic surgery) refers to any procedure that is performed to correct issues related to the jaw. This procedure can be performed on the chin, lower jaw, upper jaw, or both. Correcting jaws that are improperly aligned is the most common type of jaw surgery. It is generally recommended that patients avoid having jaw surgery until growth has stopped, which is typically between the ages of 13-15 for females and 16-18 for males. Although performing corrective jaw surgery will typically result in a dramatic improvement in the aesthetic appearance, this procedure is typically performed to address functional issues. At Lake Norman Oral & Facial Surgery, we offer a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, specializing in facial reconstruction, facial surgery, corrective jaw surgery, obstructive sleep apnea, and wisdom tooth removal. If you would like to learn more about our services, or schedule an appointment for corrective jaw surgery, contact us today. New patients are welcome and a referral from another doctor is not required.

Words cannot express enough, how wonderful, caring and professional Dr. Haigney and his staff are! After being rushed to the Huntersville hospital with an orbital fracture, broken nose and other facial damage, Dr. Haigney rushed me into surgery (on his day off I must add) and corrected all my problems. I only wish all doctors cared as much about their patients and their recovery as Dr. Haigney and his staff did. Thank you so much for everything! Your attention and compassion has helped me make my recovery as comfortable as possible. 5 star service!
