When Orthodontics Is Not Enough
Orthognathic surgery is a corrective jaw procedure used to reposition the jaws when skeletal imbalance affects the bite, facial structure, airway, or overall oral function. This type of surgery is often recommended when orthodontics alone cannot correct the underlying issue because the problem is rooted in jaw position rather than tooth alignment alone.
Who Benefits
Patients who may benefit from orthognathic surgery often experience problems such as significant overbite, underbite, open bite, facial asymmetry, chewing difficulty, speech concerns, or airway-related issues. By improving the relationship between the jaws, orthognathic surgery can help restore both function and facial harmony.
Cone Beam and Virtual Planning
At South Florida Institute of Oral Surgery, orthognathic cases are planned carefully using Cone Beam imaging, virtual surgical planning, and a full evaluation of facial and dental relationships. This allows our surgeons to design treatment that is precise, individualized, and focused on both stability and aesthetics.
Comfort, Function, Confidence
Orthognathic surgery can create lasting improvements in comfort, function, confidence, and quality of life. Our team is committed to helping patients understand the process clearly and move forward with treatment that is carefully planned and expertly delivered.
