Orthognathic Orthodontic Preparation
Orthodontic preparation for jaw surgery to correct complex bite and jaw alignment issues.
-
Orthognathic orthodontic preparation is used in cases where the position of the jaws affects the bite, facial balance, or dental function.
Before surgery, orthodontic treatment is used to align the teeth and prepare the mouth for surgical correction of the jaw position.
This coordinated approach allows the teeth and jaws to be positioned correctly, creating a stable, functional, and aesthetically balanced result.
-

• have significant jaw discrepancies
• have severe overbite or underbite
• experience facial asymmetry
• have difficulty chewing or biting
• have functional jaw problemsA consultation with Dr. Bellini will determine whether orthodontic treatment alone is sufficient or if surgical correction is recommended.
