Orthodontic Surgery in Oviedo, FL

Similar to how orthodontics involves repositioning teeth, surgical orthodontics (orthognathic surgery) entails moving the jaws into proper alignment.  The teeth can only be moved so far within the supporting jaw structures with orthodontics alone.  When the jaws are misaligned to the point of preventing the upper and lower teeth to fit together, surgical orthodontics is required.  Orthognathic surgery can improve the ability to bite, speak, and breathe for these patients.  Besides jaw function, surgical orthodontics can also drastically improve facial form and esthetics.

When Do You Need Surgical Orthodontics?

Orthognathic surgery is performed when jaw growth is finished.  This is normally around age 16 for females and around 20 for males.  Because jaws are being repositioned, the teeth must first be prepared for the surgical procedure.  This involves orthodontic treatment in braces for about 12-18 months.  The actual surgery is performed by an oral surgeon in a hospital setting while the braces are still on.  After the surgery, orthodontic treatment is continued for about 6-12 months to detail and settle your bite.

Candidates for surgical orthodontics include patients suffering from malocclusions, such as overbites, underbite, protruding front teeth, cleft palate, and other jaw problems.

Dr. Kapadia is an expert at identifying these concerns; during the consultation, he will advise you on the proper course of treatment and walk you through the procedure.

How It Works

Depending on your case, most orthognathic surgeries usually take several hours. During the surgery, the maxillofacial surgeon will cut through the bone and reset it to realign your jaw. To strengthen it, the surgeon will also insert titanium plates and screws.
