Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) treats and
corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically
the jaws and the teeth. Often, these abnormalities cause
difficulty associated with chewing, talking, sleeping
and other routine activities. Orthognathic surgery
corrects these problems and, in conjunction with
orthodontic treatment, will improve the overall
appearance of the facial profile.
Using the latest in digital imaging technology, we will
demonstrate the overall functional and aesthetic
benefits of orthognathic surgery. Computerized treatment
planning minimizes treatment times, recovery periods and
the overall efficacy of your surgery. State-of-the-art
materials such as titanium plates and miniature screws
provide stability, strength and predictability to your
treatment. These advances in technology, procedures and
equipment reduce post-surgical recovery time, thus
allowing patients to return to their normal routines
soon after the surgery.
Orthognathic surgery may be unnecessary if orthodontic
treatment can correct the problem. With the latest
advances in orthodontics, this is sometimes the case. We
will determine if orthognathic surgery is the correct
treatment option for you. |
