No pressure, no jargon. A real conversation about whether surgery is right for you.
I’m an oral & maxillofacial surgeon focused on corrective jaw surgery. I chose this field because it sits exactly where function meets identity—how you bite, breathe, and feel about the face you see in the mirror.
My promise is simple: you’ll never feel rushed, talked down to, or sold to. We’ll make the decision together, with the full picture in front of us.
Away from the OR, I’m a father of six and happiest outside — on a bike, a boat, or a mountain. It’s the same steadiness I bring into the operating room.
“My job isn’t to sell surgery. It’s to help you understand your options.”
Consults are unhurried. You’ll leave knowing your diagnosis, options, and the honest trade-offs of each.
Every case is planned digitally before the day of surgery—so the result is designed, not improvised.
Recovery is a relationship. You’ll have a direct line and clear milestones from week one onward.
Most patients leave a consult simply understanding their options better. That alone is worth the visit.
When teeth align but jaws don’t, orthodontics alone can’t fix it. Corrective jaw surgery repositions the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both—improving your bite, your breathing, and the balance of your face.
3D scans and a full conversation about goals, options, and timing.
Braces or aligners position the teeth so the jaws can meet correctly.
A planned, hidden-incision procedure to reposition the jaws, done under general anesthesia.
Guided healing, then final orthodontic detailing for a settled bite.
Swelling peaks then eases. Liquid diet, rest, and managed comfort at home.
Back to light routines and desk work for many. Soft foods, swelling visibly down.
Bones well on their way to union. Most normal activity resumes.
Final settling and orthodontic detailing. The result becomes fully yours.
Every plan comes with a written estimate—no surprises. We’re a cash-pay practice with financing options, and we’ll help you understand any medical-insurance pathways where they apply.
Drag to reveal. Shared with the patient’s permission.

Almost never anymore. Modern fixation uses small titanium plates that hold everything in place, so most patients can open and move their jaw soon after surgery—no wiring required.
Book a consult with Dr. Stosich—or just call and ask. We’re happy to help either way.
