Orthodontics andOrthognathic Surgery
Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.
Types
Our medical center offers several types of orthodontic treatments, including:
- Traditional metal braces
- Ceramic braces
- Lingual braces
- Clear aligners
Additionally, for more complex cases, our orthodontists may recommend orthognathic surgery, which involves repositioning the jaw to correct severe bite and alignment issues. We also offer orthognathic surgeries to help individuals achieve a straighter and healthier smile.
Benefits
Orthodontic treatment can offer numerous benefits, including improved oral health, enhanced aesthetics and self-confidence, and reduced risk of developing certain dental and medical conditions. Orthognathic surgery can also improve the function of the jaw and reduce pain and discomfort associated with severe misalignment.
Preparation
Before starting orthodontic treatment or orthognathic surgery, patients will undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including a physical examination, dental x-rays, and 3D imaging. This allows our orthodontists and oral surgeons to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets the individual needs and goals of each patient.
Procedure
Orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery are typically performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the complexity of the case. Treatment time can vary depending on the individual case, but most patients can expect to wear braces or clear aligners for 12 to 24 months. Orthognathic surgery can take several hours to complete and may require a brief hospital stay.
Recovery and aftercare
Following orthodontic treatment or orthognathic surgery, patients will be given specific instructions on how to care for their teeth and gums, as well as any appliances or hardware used during treatment. Our team of orthodontists and oral surgeons will monitor patients closely throughout treatment to ensure a successful outcome.
Conclusion
We are committed to helping patients achieve a straighter, healthier smile through the latest orthodontic techniques and technology. Whether through traditional braces, clear aligners, or orthognathic surgery, our team of experienced orthodontists and oral surgeons are dedicated to providing the highest quality care and support to patients throughout their treatment journey.
