While many patients who have bite-related issues, such as poor bite alignment or overbites, underbites, or crossbites, orthognathic surgery may be recommended in situations where traditional orthodontics may not work. In fact, it is found that 10% of the population with bite alignment problems may benefit from jaw surgeries instead of orthodontia.
