Obstructive sleep apnoea is not always linked to lifestyle factors alone. In some cases, the position of the jaws and facial structure can affect the airway during sleep.😴

If the airway becomes narrowed or blocked, it can contribute to symptoms such as loud snoring, interrupted sleep, and daytime fatigue.

Understanding the underlying cause is an important step in determining the most appropriate treatment approach.

Your facial bones have an incredible ability to heal after injury or surgery. Once healing begins, the body works to repair damaged bone tissue and restore strength to the affected area.

The healing process can vary depending on the type of injury, the treatment required, and your overall health.

Following your surgeon's post-operative instructions is an important part of supporting recovery.

Your face is made up of 14 bones that work together to support your eyes, nose, mouth, and jaw. These structures play an important role in everyday functions such as eating, speaking, breathing, and facial expression.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons diagnose and treat conditions affecting the facial bones, jaws, teeth, and surrounding structures. This can include facial trauma, jaw abnormalities, impacted teeth, and other conditions that affect the function and appearance of the face.

Mental health and physical health are closely connected. Recovering from facial trauma, jaw surgery, or other maxillofacial conditions can affect more than just your physical wellbeing.

This Mental Illness Awareness Month, it is important to recognise the emotional impact that injury, treatment, and recovery can have. Seeking support is a valuable part of the healing process.

Facial soft tissue injuries—like cuts, lacerations, or bruising—require careful assessment to ensure proper healing and minimise scarring. Maxillofacial surgeons manage these injuries by evaluating the depth and location of the wound, repairing damaged tissue, and restoring both function and appearance.

Prompt treatment helps prevent infection, supports faster recovery, and reduces long-term complications. Whether from accidents, sports injuries, or trauma, early attention is key to protecting your facial structure and maintaining overall jaw and oral health.

Your jaw joint, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ), connects your jaw to your skull and allows movement for talking, chewing, and yawning. TMJ disorders occur when these joints or surrounding muscles become strained, misaligned, or inflamed.

Common signs include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, difficulty opening or closing the mouth, and headaches or facial tension. Causes can range from teeth grinding and stress to misaligned bites or trauma.

Early assessment by a maxillofacial specialist can help determine the cause and guide treatment, which may include lifestyle changes, bite adjustment, or more advanced interventions if needed. Understanding your TMJ is the first step toward long-term jaw health.

Stress can take a toll on more than just your mind—your jaw often feels the impact. Jaw tension commonly develops during periods of stress or anxiety and may be short-lived, lasting a few hours, or linger for days if clenching or grinding occurs.

Chronic tension can lead to headaches, muscle fatigue, and discomfort while chewing. Simple strategies like stretching, mindful relaxation, and posture awareness can help relieve tension. If your jaw pain persists, an assessment by a maxillofacial specialist can identify the cause and guide appropriate care.

Chin surgery, also known as genioplasty, is performed to adjust the shape or position of the chin in relation to the rest of the face. In some cases, it is done for aesthetic balance, while in others, it may help improve function and overall facial harmony.

People may consider chin surgery if they feel the chin appears too prominent, too small, uneven, or out of proportion with their facial features. It can also be performed alongside other jaw procedures to support bite alignment and facial structure.

Every face is different, which is why careful assessment and planning are important before considering treatment options.
