Mandible surgery is surgery done on the lower jaw. It's used to correct issues with the jaw such as misalignment, breathing problems, TMJ disorders, and injuries.
What type of mandible surgery you have depends on what issue you need to treat. Your surgery may reposition your jaw by moving it forward or backwards, remove part of the jaw, or rebuild part of the jaw that's damaged or missing.
