For some patients, braces alone are not enough
Orthodontics is designed to reposition and straighten teeth. However, sometimes, braces alone cannot completely address the patient’s dental and skeletal issues. If the root of the problem is a discrepancy of the jaws, resulting from atypical skeletal growth, corrective jaw surgery (Orthognathic Surgery) accompanied with braces may be the best choice to correct the bite.
Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, corrects discrepancies in the facial bones, focusing on the jaws and teeth. These abnormalities can lead to difficulties in everyday activities such as chewing, speaking, and sleeping. Performing orthognathic surgery alongside orthodontic treatment aims to resolve these functional issues and enhance the overall facial profile.
Benefits of Orthognathic Surgery
Functional Improvement: Corrects issues related to chewing, speaking, breathing, and other routine activities affected by facial bone abnormalities.
Aesthetic Enhancement: Improves the overall appearance of the facial profile, achieving harmonious facial proportions.
