\n<\/span>– Jaw mismatch : <\/b>This refers to a misalignment of the teeth and jaws that can cause difficulty chewing or speaking.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>– Sleep apnea: <\/b>Jaw surgery can help open up the airway and reduce symptoms of sleep apnea.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>– Gingivitis and teeth : <\/b>If someone has suffered a facial injury that has caused damage to their jaw or facial bones, jaw surgery may be necessary to repair the damage.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>– Congenital defects: <\/b>Some people are born with abnormalities in their jaw such as double jaw or facial bones that require surgical correction.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
