Is oral surgery necessary for all orthodontic patients?
Not all orthodontic cases require surgery; it depends on individual needs, such as impacted teeth or jaw alignment issues.
Welcome to a new horizon in oral care where advanced surgical techniques meet personalized orthodontic therapy. At Greater Washington Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we are proud to offer cutting-edge Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy (SFOT) for patients who seek a progressive solution to perfecting their smiles. Our approach is grounded in expertise, tailored care, and technological innovation.
Benefits of Oral Surgery for Orthodontics
The primary benefit of oral surgery in orthodontics is the significant improvement in treatment outcomes. By correcting jaw discrepancies or exposing impacted teeth, surgery allows for better alignment of teeth and jaws. This not only leads to enhanced aesthetic results but also improves oral function, reducing the risk of potential complications.
Ultimately, the integration of oral surgery can shorten the overall duration of orthodontic treatment, making it a valuable component of a comprehensive approach to achieving a perfect smile.
