Restore Function and Confidence with Surgical Orthodontics

Sometimes as well as the teeth, the jaws may also need to be moved to create the best result for your face. The foundations which the teeth sit on – the jaws may also be out of position. They jaws can be crooked, narrow, too long or too short. All of these can have a significant effect the teeth and smile.

Braces are still required to move the teeth, but we also need the help of our friendly surgeon to move the jaws so that the foundations can be placed appropriately. Surgery will be offered as an option, if your orthodontist feels it may produce a better result. Of course an alternative option will also be offered, however this is usually involves some level of compromise. The patient and family ultimately decide which option is best suited to them.
