Dr. Deeb Helal and Dr. Timothy Colton perform corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, at Norwell Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center. This procedure can address misaligned jaws, improve bite function, and enhance facial balance. Our board-certified oral surgeons work closely with referring orthodontists to develop comprehensive treatment plans for patients from Norwell, Hingham, Weymouth, and throughout the South Shore.

Corrective jaw surgery at Norwell Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center may incorporate several techniques, including osteotomy (controlled bone cutting), bone grafts, distraction osteogenesis (gradual bone lengthening), and coordinated orthodontic care. Dr. Helal and Dr. Colton plan each orthognathic case in carefully sequenced stages, with the full course of treatment typically spanning several months to a year or longer depending on the complexity involved.
During the surgical phase, the jawbone is precisely repositioned to match the patient’s unique anatomical and functional requirements. Incisions are strategically placed inside the mouth to minimize visible scarring and achieve the best possible combination of functional improvement and aesthetic outcome.
