What is

Surgical Orthodontics?

Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialized treatment that combines braces with corrective surgery. This procedure is designed to address issues that cannot be fully corrected with braces alone, such as misaligned jaws, severe bite problems, and facial asymmetry. Surgical orthodontics helps improve not just the appearance of your smile but also the overall function of your teeth and jaw.

Why Choose

Surgical Orthodontics?

Surgical orthodontics is often recommended when the alignment of the jaw is so severe that traditional braces or aligners cannot effectively correct it. The benefits of surgical orthodontics include:

Improved Bite Function: For patients with jaw discrepancies, surgery can help restore proper bite function, making eating and speaking easier and more comfortable.

Facial Esthetics: Surgical orthodontics can correct jaw misalignment, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance.

Long-Term Health ‍Correcting jaw issues can help alleviate/reduce problems such as tooth wear, and difficulty chewing, all of which can impact your overall oral health.

Who Can Benefit

from Surgical Orthodontics?

If you experience any of the following conditions, surgical orthodontics may be an option for you:

● Severe Overbite or Underbite: When the upper and lower jaws are misaligned to the point where they cannot meet properly, surgery may be necessary.

● Jaw Discrepancies: Whether your jaw is too large, too small, or asymmetric, surgery can help align your jaw with the rest of your facial features.

● Difficulty with Basic Functions: Issues such as difficulty chewing, speaking, or breathing can be resolved with the help of surgical orthodontics.

Why The Surgical Orthodontics

Process

At Peace Love Braces, we aim to make the surgical orthodontic process as smooth and comfortable as possible for our patients. Here’s what to expect when you choose this treatment option:

1. Long-Term Health

During your consultation with Dr. Khor, we will assess your orthodontic needs through a thorough evaluation, including X-rays, and photographs. Dr. Khor will discuss your treatment goals, explain the surgical options available, and create a personalized treatment plan.

2. Pre-Surgical Orthodontics

Before the surgery, you will wear braces to begin aligning your teeth and preparing your bite. This phase of treatment typically lasts around 12 months, depending on the severity of your condition.

3. Surgical Procedure

Once your teeth are properly aligned, the next step is the surgical procedure itself. The surgery is performed by a skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeon. The procedure may involve repositioning the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, and may also include adjustments to the chin and facial structure.

4. Post-Surgical Orthodontics

After surgery, you will continue to wear braces for a few more months to fine-tune your bite and ensure everything settles into place. During this time, Dr. Khor will closely monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

5. Final Results

Once your treatment is complete, you will have a beautifully aligned smile and a well-functioning bite. Dr. Khor will provide you with post-treatment care instructions, including the use of retainers to maintain your results.
