WHAT IS SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS?
-
Sometimes your facial growth and development do not proceed in a normal and harmonious manner.
-
When this happens, your jaws are not in an anatomically correct position, having a negative effect on your bite, facial symmetry and balance.
-
It can even make eating, speaking, and normal breathing more difficult.
-
Sometimes Orthodontic treatment alone is insufficient to address all the issues caused by improper or disproportionate jaws.
-
Orthognathic surgery, more commonly known as corrective jaw surgery, is sometimes necessary to help address these skeletal and dental irregularities.
