Surgical Orthodontics
What is Surgical Orthodontics?
Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialized treatment that corrects jaw irregularities to improve your ability to chew, speak, and breathe. This advanced procedure not only enhances facial appearance but also ensures proper jaw alignment for optimal oral function.
At Ovation Orthodontics, we combine surgical expertise with orthodontic treatment to achieve the best possible results. This comprehensive approach includes both jaw correction and teeth alignment using braces to ensure everything is in its proper position.
Who Needs Surgical Orthodontics?
Surgical orthodontic treatment may be recommended for:
- Non-growing adult patients with improper bites
- Patients concerned with facial aesthetics
- Individuals with completed jaw growth (typically age 16+ for girls, 18+ for boys)
- Patients with severe jaw misalignment affecting daily functions
The Surgical Orthodontics Process
Pre-Surgery Phase
Treatment begins with orthodontic preparation using braces for 6-18 months. During this phase, your teeth are moved into position for optimal surgical results.
Surgery
Performed in a hospital setting by an oral surgeon, the procedure can take several hours depending on the complexity. Recovery typically allows return to work or school within two weeks.
Post-Surgery Phase
After 4-8 weeks of healing, final orthodontic adjustments begin. Braces are typically removed within 6-12 months, followed by retainer use to maintain results.
