Corrective Jaw Surgery for Overbite and Underbite in NJ and NY
Our surgeons maintain hospital affiliations in NJ and NY
Orthognathic surgery is also known as corrective jaw surgery. It is used to remedy a variety of abnormalities in which the facial bones and teeth develop incorrectly, resulting in the occurrence of either an underbite or overbite. These conditions lead to difficulty with chewing, speech, jaw function, and a compromised facial appearance.
Orthognathic surgery is normally done in conjunction with orthodontic treatment. Sometimes, braces alone can correct a problem with the bite, but when it is severe, orthognathic surgery may be needed. Our NJ oral surgeons perform orthognathic surgery in the hospital or outpatient surgical center. Patients generally stay in the hospital one to two nights, depending on the extent of surgery. Our doctors maintain hospital affiliations in NJ and NY.
Personalized, gentle, comprehensive patient care is our number one priority.
The areas that usually need correction are the maxilla (upper jaw), the mandible (lower jaw), and chin. Corrective jaw surgery involves moving one, two, or all of these areas to obtain the desired results.
New advances in orthodontics have also allowed the total treatment times to be shortened. Most patients state that the post-operative discomfort is much less than they were expecting. The improvement in jaw function and facial appearance is remarkable, and in some instances, life altering. Most patients experience a great improvement in their self-confidence and quality of life after orthognathic surgery.

Patient Review By H OB
I had an excellent experience with my oral surgery at this practice. From the consultation to the follow-up text messages everything was handled with professionalism and care. Dr Feuerstein was incredibly skilled and made sure I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. The procedure went smoothly, and my recovery is going well. His assistant, Alison was kind, reassuring, and always available to answer questions. I highly recommend them if you need any oral surgery done—you’ll be in great hands!

Patient Review By Josette Lucido Balestrieri
"As a parent, taking my nine-year-old child to an oral surgeon was an incredibly frightening experience. However, Dr. Mina Boulos and his team at Bergen Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery immediately put us at ease. They took such wonderful care of my son and made him feel completely comfortable throughout the entire visit.
When I found out he needed an IV, I was honestly terrified — but the team handled it with such professionalism and compassion that it eased my fears. We walked in as strangers and left feeling like family.
To any parent who may be anxious about their child’s oral surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Boulos and his team. The care and experience our son received were exceptional. In fact, my husband and I have decided to use Bergen Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery for any of our future needs as well.
We truly recommend this practice to all families looking for expert care delivered with kindness and heart.

Patient Review By Carol Lehman
Dr Diaz and his staff were friendly, kind and amazing! From the time I walked in till the time I walked out they walked me through everything! They are also very cutting edge! I have osteoporosis. Last June I had a reclast infusion to strengthen my bones. However, in 1% of people it can affect healing in the mouth. (Who knew?) So to help with the healing they drew my blood, put into a machine and injected into my tooth socket where they did the extraction.

Patient Review By Vera Kennedy
Great experience with BOM. The staff were professional and kind. The oral surgeon was excellent. He used stem cells from my own body to heal the area where he removed 4 teeth. I have very little pain 1 day post op. So impressed. Thank you all. I highly recommend them.

Patient Review By Karen Cullinane
This entire office, including Dr. Boulos made this visit seamless and efficient. His dedication to patient care is completely evident in all interactions. My son’s developmental disabilities make him a difficult patient to work with, and the team at BOMS consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism. Wonderful to find an expert & amazing Doctor! Thank you for doing such a great job taking care of Dan. Regards, Karen & Bill Cullinane
