Surgical Orthodontics
Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Often, these abnormalities cause difficulty associated with chewing, talking, sleeping and other routine activities. Orthognathic surgery corrects these problems and, in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, will improve the overall appearance of the facial profile.
Using the latest in digital imaging technology, we will demonstrate the overall functional and aesthetic benefits of orthognathic surgery. Computerized treatment planning minimizes treatment times, recovery periods and the overall efficacy of your surgery.
Orthognathic surgery may be necessary if orthodontic treatment alone cannot correct the problem. Even with the latest advances in orthodontics, this is sometimes the case. We will help you determine if surgical orthodontics is the optimal treatment option for you.
