In my practice, I offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic treatments, carefully tailored to each patient’s individual needs. One of the most advanced treatment options I offer is orthognathic surgery, also known as jaw surgery or corrective jaw surgery.
This treatment corrects jaw and facial imbalances by combining orthodontics with surgical procedures, achieving results that braces or aligners alone cannot deliver. goal of orthognathic surgery is to improve how your teeth function, while also enhancing the appearance and harmony of your facial profile.
Orthognathic surgery is a collaborative treatment that involves orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery. It is used to correct moderate to severe jaw irregularities, such as:
Patients typically begin orthodontic treatment, such as braces, clear aligners, or lingual braces, before the surgical phase to align the teeth in preparation for jaw surgery. Click here to check the British Orthodontic Society’s information about this treatment modality.
Corrective jaw surgery is recommended for patients with:
The first step is a comprehensive evaluation, including clinical exams, X-rays, 3D imaging, and a detailed medical history. This helps create a personalized orthodontic and surgical treatment plan.
We begin with orthodontic treatment to align the teeth and prepare for surgery. Once the teeth are properly positioned, an experienced maxillofacial surgeon performs the jaw surgery. I work closely with a trusted network of top surgeons across Ireland and Europe, ensuring each patient receives expert care based on their needs and preferences.
After orthognathic surgery, you’ll go through a healing period where final bite adjustments are made with orthodontics. Recovery times vary, but most patients return to normal function within a few weeks.
The entire treatment timeline, which includes braces or aligners, surgery, and post-operative orthodontic care, typically spans several months. However, the outcomes are long-lasting and life-changing. Patients enjoy improved function, better facial balance, and a boost in confidence.
You’re making a big decision when you choose jaw surgery, so it’s important to have the right guidance. I will support you through every step, from your initial consultation to recovery, answering all your questions and ensuring you feel confident in your treatment plan.
Jaw surgery can dramatically improve your dental health, facial appearance, and overall quality of life. If you’re struggling with jaw alignment issues or have been told that braces alone may not be enough, I encourage you to get in touch.
