Transforming Smiles and Facial Balance Through Expert Orthognathic Care
We specialize in orthognathic surgery, combining advanced orthodontics with surgical techniques to correct severe jaw misalignments. We create customized treatment plans that improve your bite, facial symmetry, and overall oral function.
If you’re struggling with jaw alignment issues, there’s so much more to discover about this transformative solution.
Understanding Orthognathic Surgery and When It’s Needed
When traditional orthodontic treatment alone can’t correct severe jaw misalignment or facial asymmetry, orthognathic surgery offers a solution by combining orthodontics with surgical intervention.
At our practice, we carefully evaluate each patient to determine if orthognathic surgery is necessary for ideal results.
We recommend orthognathic surgery for patients experiencing difficulty with chewing, speaking, or breathing due to jaw irregularities. This treatment may also be appropriate for those with facial imbalances affecting their appearance and self-confidence. Common conditions that may require orthognathic surgery include severe overbites, underbites, open bites, and asymmetrical jaw growth.
Through our thorough evaluation process, we’ll help you understand if orthognathic surgery is the right choice for achieving your desired outcome and improving your oral function.

How Jaw Surgery Improves Function, Balance, and Facial Aesthetics
Orthognathic surgery offers remarkable improvements in both oral function and facial appearance.
When we perform corrective jaw surgery, we’re able to address multiple concerns that affect our patients’ daily lives. We can enhance their ability to bite, chew, and speak properly while creating better facial symmetry and balance.
By repositioning the jaws, we help patients breathe more easily and reduce strain on their jaw joints. The surgery can resolve issues like chronic jaw pain, difficulty swallowing, and sleep apnea. We’ve seen how this transformation goes beyond physical changes – it boosts our patients’ confidence and quality of life.
Through precise surgical techniques, we create harmony between facial features, improving profiles and overall facial proportions. Our goal is to help you achieve both ideal function and natural aesthetic results.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Orthognathic Surgery
Preparing for orthognathic surgery requires careful planning and coordination between your orthodontist and oral surgeon.
We’ll guide you through thorough evaluations, including X-rays, photographs, and dental impressions to create your customized treatment plan.
Recovery involves a healing period of 6-8 weeks. We’ll monitor your progress closely, providing detailed instructions for post-operative care, including diet modifications and oral hygiene. You’ll notice gradual improvements in your bite, breathing, and facial appearance.
Most patients return to normal activities within 3-4 weeks, though complete healing may take several months.
Coordinated Care for the Best Orthodontic and Surgical Results
To achieve ideal results from orthognathic surgery, our team coordinates closely with your oral surgeon throughout your entire treatment journey.
We’ll work together to develop a thorough treatment plan that aligns your orthodontic care with the surgical procedures needed to correct your jaw alignment. During your surgical orthodontic treatment, we’ll prepare your teeth and jaw through precise orthodontic adjustments before surgery. After your procedure, we’ll continue working with your surgeon to monitor your healing and make any necessary adjustments to guarantee ideal results.
We recognize the complexity of orthognathic surgery, which is why we maintain constant communication with your surgical team to address any concerns and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Our coordinated approach helps guarantee you achieve the best possible outcome for both function and aesthetics.
