Repositioning The Lower Jaw With Plates And Screws

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 21196

Splits the bone of the lower jaw in a controlled way so the jaw can be moved forward, back or rotated into a better position, then fixes it there with small plates and screws. The fixation is rigid enough that the jaws do not have to be wired shut afterwards. It is used to correct a bite that does not line up, and can also help breathing and appearance.
