Surgical orthodontics, or orthognathic surgery, addresses and rectifies abnormalities in the facial structure, particularly the jaws and teeth. These conditions can interfere with essential functions like chewing, speaking, and sleeping and may also impact your facial aesthetics. When combined with orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery not only enhances your ability to perform these fundamental activities but also significantly improves your facial appearance.
At San Marcos Orthodontics, we employ advanced digital imaging technology to showcase the potential functional and aesthetic benefits of undergoing orthognathic surgery. Our commitment to utilizing the latest in computerized treatment planning helps streamline the surgery process, shorten your recovery phase, and enhance the overall success of the procedure. We use modern, durable materials such as titanium plates and miniature screws to ensure the stability and effectiveness of your surgical treatment. These technological advancements and surgical techniques aim to reduce your downtime, enabling a quicker return to your daily life post-surgery.
However, it’s important to note that orthognathic surgery isn’t always necessary. Modern orthodontic solutions can often resolve issues without the need for surgery. Our dedicated team at San Marcos Orthodontics will thoroughly evaluate your specific situation to determine whether orthognathic surgery is the most suitable approach for you.
