Orthodontics with 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. State-of-the-art materials such as titanium plates and
miniature screws provide stability, strength and predictability to
your treatment. These advances in technology, procedures and
equipment reduce post-surgical recovery time, thus allowing
patients to return to their normal routines soon after the
surgery.
Orthognathic surgery may be unnecessary if orthodontic treatment
can correct the problem. With the latest advances in orthodontics,
this is sometimes the case. We will determine if orthognathic
surgery is the correct treatment option for you.
