Orthodontic treatment involves more than just straightening your teeth; it also focuses on correcting jaw alignment! Once your jaws have finished growing, braces alone may not address more complex orthodontic issues. In such cases, we might suggest orthognathic surgery.

What is orthognathic surgery?

Orthognathic surgery is designed to address significant skeletal discrepancies in your jaws and requires a highly skilled practitioner. Our team collaborates with some of Melbourne’s top oral and maxillofacial surgeons to deliver excellent outcomes for our patients.

Do I need orthognathic surgery?

If you are an adult with significant jaw discrepancies, orthognathic surgery may be the most suitable treatment option, as you will no longer experience facial growth. We will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your smile to determine if this surgery is right for you.

What happens if I need orthognathic surgery?

Following a thorough assessment, we will collaborate with the oral and maxillofacial surgeon to develop a customised treatment plan to address your bite discrepancies. After your surgery, our team will support you in achieving optimal harmony between your teeth and jaws.
