Surgical Orthodontics

Surgical orthodontics is generally recommended in the following situations:

• Severe Jaw Discrepancies: When the position, shape, or relationship of the jaws is too severe for orthodontic treatment alone to correct, or when attempting correction without surgery would lead to unwanted side effects.
• Facial Aesthetic Enhancements: To address facial irregularities caused by abnormal jaw shape, alignment, or position, improving overall appearance.
• Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: To manage sleep apnoea when jaw irregularities contribute to airway obstruction.

Surgical orthodontics is a step-by-step process tailored to your specific needs. Here’s an outline of the usual process:

• Orthodontic Preparation: Braces or aligners are used before surgery to align the teeth and prepare the bite for surgical correction.
• Jaw Surgery: Performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, this procedure repositions the jaws to achieve the desired alignment and function.
• Post-Surgical Care: Orthodontic treatment continues after surgery to fine-tune the bite and ensure optimal results.
