Orthognathic Surgery – Edwardsorthodontics.com

Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Often, these abnormalities cause difficulty associated with chewing, talking, sleeping and other routine activities. Orthognathic surgery corrects these problems and, in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, will improve the overall appearance of the facial profile.

Using the latest in digital imaging technology, we will demonstrate the overall functional and aesthetic benefits of orthognathic surgery. Computerized treatment planning minimizes treatment times, recovery periods and the overall efficacy of your surgery. State-of-the-art materials such as titanium plates and miniature screws provide stability, strength and predictability to your treatment. These advances in technology, procedures and equipment reduce post-surgical recovery time, thus allowing patients to return to their normal routines soon after the surgery. Orthodontist hwy 280

What Are Braces?

Let’s say you have some crooked teeth, and you’ve heard of these things called braces. What are braces? We apply a device termed dental braces and wires with an adhesive to your teeth which repositions them into a more favorable position. This creates an aesthetic smile by having teeth properly aligned.

Your teeth will fit and function better in the posterior of your mouth better too. Teeth that function and fit together well will survive together well. Common issues like the ability to keep your teeth clean, or their ability to withstand wear from chewing & possibly grinding, etc. can be improved by having your teeth properly aligned.
