transform your smile and quality of life

​

Orthodontics and orthognathic surgery are two closely intertwined fields within dentistry that focus on improving the alignment and functionality of the jaws and teeth. Orthodontics primarily deals with the correction of dental irregularities, such as misaligned teeth and improper bites, using braces, aligners, and other corrective devices. It aims to enhance both the aesthetic appearance of the smile and the overall oral health. On the other hand, orthognathic surgery involves surgical interventions to reposition the upper and lower jaws in cases of severe jaw misalignment or skeletal discrepancies that cannot be fully addressed through orthodontic treatments alone.

 

This transformative surgical procedure aims to restore proper jaw function, improve facial symmetry, and enhance the patient's overall quality of life. The collaboration between orthodontists and oral surgeons is crucial for achieving comprehensive and successful outcomes, as they work together to create balanced and harmonious facial aesthetics along with functional occlusion.
