Pre- and post-surgical orthodontics is a specialized treatment approach for correcting severe jaw and facial discrepancies that cannot be managed with braces alone. Pre-surgical orthodontics involves aligning the teeth and preparing the dental arches to ensure they fit together properly after jaw surgery. This stage is essential for achieving optimal surgical results. Post-surgical orthodontics focuses on fine tuning the bite and ensuring proper alignment after surgery. This combined approach, carried out in collaboration with maxillofacial surgeons, helps achieve improved function, facial balance, and long term stability.
For patients with significant jaw discrepancies, we provide coordinated orthodontic care before and after orthognathic (jaw) surgery. This ensures optimal alignment, facial balance, and stable, functional outcomes through close collaboration with maxillofacial surgeons.
