COMMON ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR ADULTS INCLUDE:

ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY

Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and used to correct skeletal conditions of the jaw and face related to structure, growth or other orthodontic problems that cannot be easily treated with braces alone. Open bites (space between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed), protruding jaw, and receding lower jaw and chin are examples of common problems treated with jaw surgery.

The pediatric & orthodontic dentist along with an oral & maxillofacial surgeon work closely together to plan and coordinate all orthognathic surgery treatments. We have an exceptional working relationships with several oral & maxillofacial surgeons in the area. Orthodontic treatment is an integral part of corrective jaw surgery. It is preferable to have the teeth aligned and straightened with braces before the surgical procedure begins. After the surgical procedure, the same braces are used to finish correcting the bite.
