Jaw Surgery
If you or your child are in need of jaw surgery, it is important to consult with Dr. Saba first, before visiting the oral surgeon’s office. Your initial consultation with an orthodontist will make the transition into surgery a bit easier. Because cleft palates and other craniofacial irregularities affect the form and growth of the upper jaw, the teeth become a special consideration. Development and alignment of the teeth and their relationship to the jaw needs to be addressed during infancy and throughout the child’s growing years. As an adult, surgery is more often sought to correct malocclusions that were not addressed earlier in life and can only be corrected by surgery. Dr Saba works with several top oral surgeons in the area and can help make the transition from pre-operative to post-operative surgery a less worrisome experience.
