Throughout the entire process, our team commits to providing comprehensive care and support, from the initial consultation through to the final reveal of your transformed smile and facial profile. This advanced treatment combines the expertise of orthodontists and oral surgeons to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. This collaborative approach results in a harmoniously balanced bite, an enhanced smile, and improved facial proportions.
Patients with Jaw Abnormalities
Patients with jaw abnormalities often experience a range of functional difficulties that impact their daily lives. These may include:
- Challenges with proper chewing and digestion
- Speech impediments or articulation issues
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
- Sleep apnea or other breathing problems
- Facial asymmetry or imbalance
Our practice utilizes cutting-edge digital imaging technology to provide a comprehensive assessment of each patient’s unique case. This advanced visualization allows us to:
- Precisely diagnose skeletal and dental discrepancies
- Simulate potential treatment outcomes
- Demonstrate the anticipated functional and aesthetic benefits of surgical orthodontic intervention
- Facilitate clear communication between the patient, orthodontist, and oral surgeon
However, it’s important to note that surgery is not always necessary to correct orthodontic issues. Recent advancements in orthodontic techniques and technologies have expanded the scope of non-surgical treatment options. In some cases, orthodontic treatment alone may sufficiently address the presenting problems.
Our experienced team conducts thorough evaluations to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual. When determining the best treatment plan, we consider several factors such as:
- The severity of the skeletal discrepancy
- Additionally, the patient’s age and overall health play a crucial role in our decision making process.
- Potential for growth modification in younger patients
- The impact of the condition on the patient’s quality of life
Optimal Treatment Approach
If we deem surgical orthodontics the optimal treatment approach, we work closely with skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeons to ensure seamless coordination of care. Our collaborative process typically involves:
- Pre-surgical orthodontic treatment to align the teeth properly
- The surgical procedure to correct jaw positioning
- Post-surgical orthodontic refinement to perfect the bite and smile
Throughout the treatment process, we prioritize patient education, comfort, and satisfaction. Our team commits to providing comprehensive care and support, from the initial consultation through to the final reveal of your transformed smile and facial profile.
We encourage patients to schedule a consultation to discuss their specific case and explore the potential benefits of surgical orthodontics or alternative treatment options.
