Surgical Orthodontic Treatment
Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic treatment, supports the alignment of the teeth and jaws when natural growth and orthodontic movement need more assistance. Treatment combines orthodontic care with carefully planned jaw surgery, allowing the teeth and jaws to work together in ideal balance.
This process improves bite function, facial symmetry, and long term stability. Each treatment plan is fully customized and developed in coordination with an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
Our Collaborative Approach
Treatment at Marin Ortho follows a thoughtful and coordinated process to support excellent results:
- Orthodontic preparation aligns the teeth and creates a stable foundation for surgery.
- Surgical treatment repositions the jaws with precision to achieve proper alignment and balance.
- Final orthodontic detailing refines the bite and smile for a beautifully finished result.
- Digital imaging and 3D treatment planning allow for clear visualization and precise coordination at every stage.
Getting Comfortable With Surgical Orthodontics
Preparation begins with orthodontic treatment, allowing patients to ease into the process while seeing steady progress. Clear guidance and regular visits help everything move forward smoothly.
After surgery, a short period of rest and healing allows the body to adapt. Most patients return to normal routines gradually, supported by detailed instructions and close follow up care.
Soft foods are recommended during the initial healing phase, and comfort continues to improve as the smile and bite settle into their new alignment.
