What is Surgical Orthodontics?
Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a treatment approach for patients whose jaw abnormalities are too severe to be corrected with braces alone. This treatment combines orthodontic care with oral surgery to reposition the jaws, improving both function and appearance. It's performed in coordination with an oral surgeon for optimal results.
