At just 24 years old, this patient presented with severely limited jaw opening, chronic painful joint dysfunction, and a compromised airway. Everyday activities such as eating, speaking, and breathing comfortably were affected.
Through coordinated orthodontic care and orthognathic surgery, we restored jaw mobility, facial balance, and improved breathing, with measurable airway improvement as seen on CBCT imaging.
What you see on the outside is a confident, radiant smile. What matters just as much is what you don’t see—restored function and healthier breathing. The best outcomes come from thoughtful diagnosis and interdisciplinary collaboration—orthodontics is more than straight teeth alone.
