Jaw reconstruction, or orthognathic surgery, shapes the face by straightening teeth with orthodontics and repositioning jaws with corrective jaw surgery. In this program, an orthognathic team led by Dr. Myron Tucker of Charlotte, NC, performs the procedure on a 15-year-old girl. After an orthodontist, using braces, moves the teeth into position, the surgeon reshapes the jaw and other facial bones to provide the patient with a more attractive appearance. A Discovery Channel Production. (47 minutes)
