FAQs
What is surgical orthodontics and who needs it?
Surgical orthodontics involves combining orthodontic treatment with jaw surgery to correct severe bite problems and jaw misalignments that cannot be fixed with braces alone.
How long does the surgical orthodontic process take?
Treatment time varies but it can take between 12 to 24 months, depending on the severity of the case. This includes pre-surgical orthodontic alignment, the surgical procedure itself, and post-surgical orthodontic adjustments to perfect the bite.
Is the surgery painful?
Jaw surgery is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, some discomfort and swelling are normal but manageable with prescribed medication and proper care.
What can I expect during recovery?
Recovery usually involves a few weeks of rest and a soft or liquid diet. Your surgeon and orthodontist will provide detailed instructions to ensure healing goes smoothly while orthodontic treatment continues.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for surgical orthodontics at Georgetown Orthodontics?
The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation with us. We’ll evaluate your bite, jaw structure, and overall dental health to create a customized treatment plan that fits your needs.
