What Is Orthognathic Surgery? 

Orthognathic surgery is often called corrective jaw surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon carefully repositions the upper and lower jaws to correct misalignment and improve facial balance. 

Orthognathic surgery can address the following conditions:

Does Our Office Perform This Procedure?

No. Instead, we refer patients to experienced surgeons whom we trust. When we believe orthognathic surgery is beneficial, we will inform patients and take measures to prepare them. Afterward, we will continue to provide necessary orthodontic care. 

Our Role in Orthognathic Surgery

By collaborating with oral surgeons and providing pre- and post-surgical care, we help patients achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. 

Our team’s role in orthognathic surgery may involve:

• Evaluation and treatment planning: Our orthodontist can examine patient teeth, jaw alignment, and facial structure to determine whether orthognathic surgery would be beneficial. If so, she can refer patients to an experienced surgeon and begin developing a comprehensive treatment plan.
• Pre-surgical orthodontics: Our orthodontist may align a patient’s teeth before surgery using braces and communicate with the oral surgeon to coordinate the procedure’s timing. Additionally, our office can custom-make a surgical splint to assist in the surgery’s success.
• Post-surgical orthodontics: After the surgery, our orthodontist can monitor a patient’s progress and adjust treatment accordingly.
