The etiology of malocclusion is not only from dental problems. Sometimes it is also from abnormalities of jawbones. The discrepancy of jawbones creates various types of malocclusion, whether from their size or position, and orthodontic treatment alone can not solve these problems correctly. Therefore, orthognathic surgery is an integration of orthodontic treatment and surgical treatment to cope with skeletal problems.
Patients always complain of an underbite, open-bite, protruded chin, elongated chin, long face, facial asymmetry, gummy smile, protruded front teeth, or else but from a more severe degree compared with others. The problems affect not only the function but also the appearance relating to mental status.
     A proper solution for these cases is ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY, the cooperation of orthodontists and surgeons to work with dental and skeletal problems. Treatment planning from both specialists will start from the very beginning of treatment. At SMILE OPERATIONS, our innovative device and experience ensure a precise diagnosis to create the proper treatment planning.
In the digital generation, we use innovative technology with the latest treatment protocol to shorten treatment time. As a result, patients will not suffer from a more severe appearance before surgery as from a traditional treatment protocol. Though it is an orthognathic surgical case, appliance types can be chosen from traditional brackets, customized brackets, or Invisalign with the same treatment results.
