Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is corrective facial surgery performed on the bones of the jaws to change their positions. It is required where deformities of the jaw exist. It may be indicated for functional, cosmetic, or health reasons. It is surgery commonly done on the jaws in conjunction with orthodontic treatment.
The surgery is not performed within our practice but carefully monitored by your surgeon within a hospital environment. We work closely as a team in conjunction with an Oral and Maxillo-facial surgeon to achieve optimal result.
Following surgery there is often a period of orthodontics for subtle and fine detailing of tooth positions.
