Our orthodontist and team will always recommend a conservative course of treatment whenever it is possible. But there may be times in which abnormalities or injuries to your teeth, facial bones or jaws may require surgical treatment. You should visit our orthodontist for an examination and consultation if you experience problems eating, speaking or even sleeping because of your problem. Our orthodontist can tell you if you are a candidate for orthognathic, or jaw, surgery. In addition to improving your oral health and function, jaw surgery can relieve discomfort and enhance your appearance.
After your examination, our orthodontist will review our findings and your surgical options. Once we have decided on a course of treatment, we will review the procedure with you in detail. This information will include how you should prepare for your surgery and what to do for your aftercare to ensure a successful treatment and proper healing. We use leading-edge technology, materials and techniques to create the best possible results for your smile and have options for sedation dentistry to keep you comfortable during your visit. If you are experiencing problems with your oral health, we invite you to call our office and schedule an appointment with our orthodontist.
