Corrective jaw surgery in London

Addressing jaw abnormalities and chronic TMD

Living with chronic TMD symptoms often means dealing with persistent inflammation and jaw abnormalities that disrupt your daily life. You may feel that your jaw does not align correctly or that inflammation makes simple movements difficult. We use diagnostic imaging to identify the exact cause of these issues before deciding on the right next step. If you are seeking oral surgery in London, our team follows strict infection prevention protocols throughout. We can assess whether you are suitable for referral during a clinical consultation.

Specialist planning for jaw alignment

Choosing the wrong surgical approach can lead to permanent complications. We reduce this risk through specialist-led assessment, which confirms your diagnosis is accurate before any referral is made. We provide a diagnosis-first consultation so you receive the correct referral for your anatomy. This transparency prevents unexpected costs and means you are not over-treated.

Our assessment covers jaw reconstruction for complex cases, as well as distraction osteogenesis and facial fracture repair, all of which are carried out by a hospital maxillofacial team following our referral. You get a transparent, itemised cost for your assessment so you understand exactly what you are paying for. Your clinical assessment determines the specific timeline and referral pathway for your case.

Who is suitable for jaw realignment

Corrective surgery is for those with structural misalignments that affect how the teeth meet or how the jaw functions. We understand that the idea of such a procedure can feel overwhelming, and feeling anxious about the process is a normal response. We address these concerns by discussing the risks of nerve damage and the nature of your diagnosis during your first visit. We listen and support you, regardless of how long you have lived with these challenges. If you are unsure which oral surgery procedures fit your specific needs, we can help you determine the right path. A consultation with Dr Sodeinde allows us to assess your anatomy and determine if a referral is right for you.

Your path to jaw alignment

Jaw alignment assessment

We begin by evaluating your specific skeletal structure. This stage determines if you are suitable for orthognathic (jaw) surgery. We use this clinical review to identify the precise movement required for your jaw.

Referral planning

Precision is the priority here. We prepare a detailed clinical summary for your hospital team and discuss the expected timeline and number of visits involved.

The jaw realignment

The procedure is carried out by a hospital maxillofacial team under general anaesthetic. We are honest about the risks: while rare, complications can occur, and we discuss these during your planning.

Post-surgical recovery

Healing takes time. You will experience a period of swelling and restricted movement as the bone integrates. We provide a clear recovery timeline so you know what to expect during these first few weeks.

Final alignment review

We monitor your bite and jaw function as you return to normal activity. This final stage confirms the alignment is stable, and we check the functional results meet the goals set during your initial assessment.

Clinical precision in oral surgery

We use 3D imaging technology to plan implant surgery and check optimal placement. You can review the credentials of Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), who leads the clinical assessment at our practice, including surgical extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and the placement of dental implants.

Aligning your jaw structure
