This game-changing approach combines cutting-edge orthodontic techniques with precision jaw surgery to tackle even the most challenging bite issues. It's all about boosting your confidence, enhancing your oral health, and potentially changing the way you see yourself in the mirror.
Do I Need Orthodontic Surgery?
You might need orthodontic surgery if you have severe jaw misalignment that makes it hard to bite, chew, or speak properly. This treatment is often recommended for adults whose jaws have finished growing and can't be fixed with just braces. A severe overbite or underbite might indicate that you need orthodontic surgery. Other signs include facial features that look out of balance, trouble closing your lips comfortably, or ongoing jaw pain. Keep in mind that only a thorough check-up with an experienced orthodontist can determine if you truly need surgery. We’ll always look at non-surgical options first and only suggest surgery when it's the best way to get the results you need.

Improves Your Facial Balance
Orthodontic surgery can significantly change how your face looks. It creates better harmony between your facial features, which often leads to a more attractive appearance and boosts your confidence.
Speak and Eat with Ease
By fixing jaw misalignment, surgical orthodontics can make it much easier for you to bite, chew, and talk. Many patients find relief from chronic jaw pain and notice their overall oral health improves.

The Orthodontic Surgery Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Planning
Orthodontists play a crucial role in evaluating the need for jaw surgery and often refer patients to an oral surgeon. Typically, braces are required for 1-2 years prior to the surgery and remain on during and after the surgery for approximately 6 months to complete the treatment.
Pre-Surgical Orthodontics
Jaw surgery is done in a hospital under general anesthesia, so you will be completely unconscious. Once you’ve been sedated, your oral surgeon will make cuts into your jaw bone, move them into the correct position, then use plates and screws to hold the jaw bone together as it heals. Everything is done inside the mouth so there are no scars. The process may vary depending on the type of surgery you need.
The Surgery and Recovery
You will usually spend one night in the hospital and go home the next day. However, there will be some food and activity restrictions to ensure your jaw heals properly. Your oral surgeon will send you home with instructions on how to care for your mouth, and you’ll need to come back for follow-ups to check on your healing. It usually takes 6-12 weeks to fully recover.
