Surgical Orthodontics is an orthodontic treatment that uses surgery to correct dental and jaw irregularities. We at Powers Dental Group recommend this type of treatment for patients who have severe dental or jaw problems. Our dental surgeries aim to improve the function and appearance of the teeth and jaws and create a healthy bite. Surgery is usually performed with traditional orthodontic treatments, such as braces or retainers. Call our dental professionals for more clarity on the surgical aspects of orthodontics.

What Involves in Surgical Orthodontic Procedure?

This treatment is typically recommended for individuals who have significant skeletal discrepancies in their jaws that cannot be corrected through traditional orthodontic treatment alone. These discrepancies may include an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite.

Surgical orthodontics involves a team approach, with an orthodontist and oral and maxillofacial surgeons working together to plan and carry out the treatment. Our orthodontic treatment usually involves braces or clear aligners to straighten the teeth and prepare them for surgery.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and involves repositioning the jaws to correct the skeletal discrepancy. Our surgeon may use cutting, repositioning, and grafting techniques to achieve the desired result. After the surgery, the patient usually needs to wear elastics and continue with orthodontic treatment to fine-tune the bite.

How is the Recovery from Surgical Orthodontic Treatment?

Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a type of dental treatment that involves the surgical repositioning of the jaw to correct severe dental and skeletal abnormalities. After undergoing surgical orthodontics, following proper aftercare instructions is essential to promote healing and minimize discomfort.
