Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery is a type of orthodontic treatment that involves the correction of facial and jaw irregularities through surgical intervention. It is typically recommended for patients with severe misalignment issues that cannot be corrected through traditional orthodontic methods such as braces or clear aligners. The surgery is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in coordination with an orthodontist to ensure optimal results. Orthognathic surgery can improve a patient’s bite, speech, and overall facial appearance, and is typically followed by a period of orthodontic treatment to help ensure the proper alignment and stability of the teeth and jaws.
