Surgical Orthodontics

Surgical orthodontics, also referred to as orthognathic surgery, stands as a specialized branch within orthodontic treatment, devoted to addressing severe jaw misalignment or skeletal discrepancies. We pride ourselves on our expertise in providing comprehensive care for patients requiring surgical intervention to achieve optimal jaw alignment and facial harmony.

Understanding Surgical Orthodontics

This procedure involves a collaborative effort between our skilled orthodontists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Together, we tackle complex jaw abnormalities that traditional orthodontic treatments may not fully resolve. By repositioning the upper and lower jaws into proper alignment, surgical orthodontics aims to enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of the jaw.

Who Benefits from Surgical Orthodontics?

Individuals with severe overbites, underbites, crossbites, or facial asymmetry due to skeletal discrepancies often find significant improvement through surgical orthodontics. Typically, this treatment is recommended for patients who have completed their growth spurt and have fully developed jaws.

Our Approach to Surgical Orthodontics

• Comprehensive Evaluation: Utilizing advanced imaging technology, we conduct a thorough assessment of each patient's condition to determine the extent of the skeletal discrepancy.
• Collaborative Treatment Planning: Our team of orthodontists and oral surgeons work closely together to craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
• Pre-Surgical Orthodontics: Before surgery, patients undergo orthodontic treatment to align the teeth and prepare them for surgical correction.
• Surgical Correction: Our oral and maxillofacial surgeon performs precise corrective surgery on the jaws to reposition them into optimal alignment.
• Post-Surgical Orthodontics: Following surgery, patients continue with orthodontic treatment to fine-tune the alignment of their teeth and bite.
• Follow-Up Care: We provide ongoing monitoring and support to ensure optimal healing and long-term success.
