Surgical orthodontics, or orthognathic surgery, is a specialized treatment used to correct severe cases involving bad bites, jaw bone abnormalities, and malocclusion. It is performed in collaboration with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, addressing complex craniofacial issues related to the mouth, jaw, face, and skull.
Surgical orthodontics is typically considered for adults with improper bites or aesthetic concerns. To be eligible for orthognathic surgery, jaw growth must be complete, which usually occurs by age 16 in females and 18 in males. The procedure is necessary when the jaws do not align correctly, and orthodontic treatment alone cannot achieve a proper bite.
Your orthodontist will assess your case and determine if orthognathic surgery is necessary based on the severity of your condition and jaw alignment.
Orthodontic surgery is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in a hospital setting. The procedure, which can take several hours, is followed by a two-week rest period. After healing, orthodontic braces are used to fine-tune the bite, with most braces removed within six to 12 months post-surgery. A retainer is then worn to maintain the new smile.
The primary reward of orthognathic surgery is achieving a beautiful, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime. Whether correcting a bad bite, malocclusion, or jaw abnormality, orthognathic surgery can restore confidence and leave you smiling with assurance for years to come.
