The Path to Recovery

Treatment & Healing Stages

1
Diagnosis

Clinical exam and 3D imaging to determine if the fracture is displaced or non-displaced.

2
Reduction & Fixation

Realigning the bones. This may involve wiring the jaw shut (IMF) or surgical plating for faster healing.

3
Healing Phase

A recovery period of 6-8 weeks where a soft-food diet is maintained to allow the bone to fuse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not always. Simple fractures that aren't displaced may only require "wiring" or a specialized diet. However, complex or displaced fractures usually require surgery (ORIF) to ensure the jaw heals in the correct position.

Initial bone healing takes about 6 to 8 weeks. During this time, you will be on a liquid or very soft diet. Full strength in the jaw bone usually returns after several months.
