Hear From Patients Who Took the Next Step

Real Stories. Meaningful Transformations.

Choosing jaw surgery is a deeply personal decision. For many patients, the journey is about more than correcting a bite—it is about eating more comfortably, speaking with confidence, feeling better about their appearance, and finally addressing concerns they may have lived with for years.

At the Jaw Surgery Center of New Jersey, every treatment plan is designed around the individual patient, their unique anatomy, functional needs, and goals. Here are a few examples of the experiences patients may have throughout their jaw surgery journey.

Transformations That Go Beyond the Smile

“I Finally Feel Like My Smile Matches Me”

“I had always been conscious of my lower jaw and the way my bite came together. As I got older, I became more aware of my profile and often found myself holding back when I smiled or took photos. I knew I wanted to understand why my bite was different and what could be done about it, but I was nervous about taking that first step.

Once I began the process, I felt reassured by how carefully everything was explained to me. I understood my prognathism, why correcting my jaw alignment was important, and what I could expect throughout treatment and recovery. The experience gave me confidence that I was making the right decision for myself, and seeing the changes take shape made every step feel worthwhile.

Her transformation went beyond a more balanced profile and improved bite. For her, correcting the underlying jaw alignment also meant letting go of years of self-consciousness and embracing her smile with a new sense of confidence.

“I No Longer Think Twice About Smiling”

“I had always been conscious of my smile. Showing more of my gums than I wanted made me hesitant to smile freely, especially in photos or around other people. It was something I had lived with for a long time, but eventually I decided I wanted to understand whether there was a way to create better balance in my smile and face.

The process gave me a completely different perspective on my concerns. I learned how my vertical maxillary excess was affecting my facial proportions and why a carefully planned approach was important. Throughout treatment and recovery, I felt prepared for what was ahead, and seeing my results develop over time made the journey feel worthwhile.

His transformation brought greater balance to his smile and facial proportions while giving him a renewed sense of confidence. What began as a concern about his appearance became an opportunity to smile more naturally and feel more comfortable in his own skin.

“I Wish I Hadn’t Waited So Long”

“I had lived with an anterior open bite for years, and over time I learned to adapt to it without really thinking about how much it affected my everyday life. Eating certain foods could be difficult, and I was always aware that my teeth didn’t come together the way they should. Even as I got closer to 40, I still wondered if it was something I simply had to live with.

Making the decision to pursue treatment was not something I took lightly. I wanted to understand my condition and what could realistically be done before moving forward. With careful planning and guidance throughout the process, I felt prepared for each stage of treatment and recovery. Seeing my bite come together and experiencing the changes for myself made the journey feel worthwhile.

Her transformation addressed more than the physical alignment of her teeth. Correcting her anterior open bite helped improve everyday function while giving her the freedom to smile, eat, and move through daily life with greater comfort and confidence.

La Dra. Lee y el equipo de Northeast Facial son increíbles. Estaba muy nerviosa por mi procedimiento, pero la Dra. Lee me lo explicó paso a paso, sin hacerme sentir apurada en ningún momento. Silvanna, en la recepción, hizo todo lo posible para ayudarme a programar una cita que me funcionara. ¡Recomendaría encarecidamente NEFOSS!

“Me realicé una cirugía de mandíbula doble con el Dr. Jacob en junio de 2021. Estoy extremadamente feliz con mis resultados. No más dolor de mandíbula ni problemas para masticar. También me siento mucho más segura con mi nueva sonrisa. La cirugía definitivamente valió la pena, ¡gracias al Dr. Jacob y a su equipo!”
