We offer specialized care for adult patients needing advanced orthodontic solutions. A surgical orthodontic treatment plan combined with orthognathic surgery, can address severe jaw discrepancies and complex issues that braces or aligners alone cannot fix.

Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw irregularities to enhance both bite function and facial appearance. It is usually recommended for adults whose jaws have stopped growing and who have significant bite and underlying skeletal issues or wish to change their facial appearance. 

Conditions that may require surgical orthodontics include:

• Severe jaw misalignment: When the upper and lower jaws do not align properly, affecting biting, chewing, and speaking.

• Facial asymmetry: Imbalances in facial structure that impact appearance and function.

• Sleep apnea: Structural issues contributing to obstructive sleep apnea, which disrupts breathing during sleep.

The treatment process involves collaboration between an orthodontist and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, including pre-surgical orthodontic care, the surgery itself, and post-surgical adjustments to achieve optimal results.
