 | | Depending on the extent of the facial injury or condition to be corrected, the patient may receive a sedative for relaxation, a local anesthetic drug to numb the area, and/or an anesthetic agent to induce unconsciousness prior to the surgery. | | | Jaw wiring surgery can be performed by an oral or maxillofacial surgeon (a specially trained dentist), or by an otolaryngologist (a doctor specializing in surgeries of the head and neck). | | | With any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with the anesthetic drugs used and the possibility of infection. |

| | Skeletal Jaw Deformities |
| | There are a variety of growth deformities of the facial skeleton, including the maxilla, nose, zygoma, and mandible, that influence soft-tissue draping, dental relationships, and the general relationship of the facial bones to the skull. | | | The diagnosis can be confirmed by cephalometric analysis and a thorough, clinical examination of the patient. | | | However, in the adult fully grown patient, the problems become more difficult and the surgical orthodontic approach may be indicated. |

| | Jaw Wiring |
| | I have seen jaw wiring done by an oral surgeon (for whom I have the highest regard) that resulted in such discomfort and gum tissue harm that the the patient simply could not maintain the work; which had to be removed and was accompanied by much discomfort. | | | Jaw wiring is a simple effective procedure which can be carried out in most hospitals, and has a place in an integrated approach to obesity. | | | OJW (Orthodontic Jaw Wiring) can not by any medical definition of the word be viewed as a "surgical" procedure. |
