Restore Jaw Function And Facial Balance With Expert Surgical Care.
Corrective Jaw Surgery Saco, ME
Restoring Balance, Function, and Confidence
Corrective jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, helps realign the jaw and teeth to improve both function and appearance. Misaligned jaws can make it hard for patients to chew, speak, or even breathe comfortably. In some cases, it can lead to sleep apnea or chronic jaw pain, affecting their overall well-being.
At Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, Dr. Harriman and our caring team specialize in this life-changing procedure. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals. From the first consultation to recovery, we prioritize patient comfort and keep you informed every step of the way. Together, we’ll help you achieve a healthier, more balanced smile in a way that feels reassuring and supportive.

Recognizing the Signs That You Could Benefit
Misaligned jaws can make everyday activities like eating feel frustrating and uncomfortable. Patients may struggle to chew effectively, which can lead to digestive issues and lower quality of life. Corrective jaw surgery restores proper alignment, making eating more comfortable and enjoyable. Choosing Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center gives you the opportunity to reclaim functional oral health and confidence during meals.
Jaw alignment plays a big role in clear, effective speech. Misaligned jaws can make it hard to pronounce words properly, which can affect a patient’s confidence in social or professional settings. Corrective jaw surgery helps improve speech clarity and builds self-assurance. Our patients receive the care they need to communicate more comfortably and confidently.
Jaw misalignment often leads to stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), causing chronic pain, headaches, and muscle fatigue. These issues can disrupt a patient’s daily life and leave them feeling worn down. Corrective jaw surgery realigns the jaws, relieving pressure on the TMJ and reducing pain.
Conditions like an open bite or a protruding jaw don’t just affect how a patient eats or speaks—they can also impact facial symmetry and self-confidence. Corrective jaw surgery restores proper alignment, enhancing both function and appearance.
Misaligned jaws can block airways, causing breathing issues and conditions like sleep apnea, which can lead to serious health concerns like high blood pressure and daytime fatigue. Corrective jaw surgery repositions the jaws to open the airway, improving sleep quality and overall health.
Take the first step toward a more balanced, functional jaw. Choose Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center for a consultation with Dr. Harriman, and let’s work together to restore your smile and confidence.
