Orthognathic Surgery at CDF Family Orthodontics
Orthodontic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to realign the upper or lower jaw, ensuring the teeth meet properly.
Braces are great for fixing many tooth and bite problems. However, if the issues come from how the jaws are positioned, sometimes orthognathic surgery might also be needed.
Orthognathic surgery not only helps create a more symmetrical smile, but it can also greatly improve a patient's ability to breathe, chew, and speak.
When performed in conjunction with orthodontic treatments like braces, orthognathic surgery can provide patients with a smile that functions correctly and looks great.
