A beautiful, symmetrical face is defined by well proportioned, harmonious features. Many times, when a person is growing up the upper and lower jaw develop in a different pace while, in other cases, the asymmetry in the jaws is due to an accident. Whatever the case the result remains the same: jaws and teeth don’t meet together causing aesthetic as well as functional problems that can affect speech, chewing or breathing. The surgery that corrects the upper and/or the lower jaw so that they meet correctly is known as orthognathic or corrective jaw surgery.
