Complex and severe malocclusions may necessitate a multidisciplinary approach involving dental specialists. In cases of significant skeletal deformities, collaboration between the orthodontist and a maxillofacial surgeon is frequently indispensable. We utilize the most advanced techniques currently employed in orthognathic surgery and surgically-assisted orthodontics. This collaborative approach allows for a reduction in overall treatment time and minimizes the stress and discomfort associated with orthodontic procedures.
The growth and development of the masticatory system can be adversely affected by various factors, including:
As a result, these factors can lead to deformities of the jawbones, crooked and tilted teeth, the development of malocclusion, and a lack of facial harmony. The orthodontist must prepare the patient for the procedure by correctly aligning the teeth using orthodontic appliances. Subsequently, during the orthognathic surgery, the surgeon corrects the relative positioning of the jawbones.
A patient who undergoes orthognathic surgery can expect a significant improvement in masticatory (chewing), speech, and respiratory functions. A positive impact on jawbone structure, and even a change in facial appearance, is also evident.
The placement of orthodontic appliances necessitates the complete resolution of any pre-existing inflammatory conditions within the oral cavity. This pertains to the oral mucosa, gingiva (gums), and the periapical tissues of the teeth. If a patient requires periodontal treatment, it must be completed prior to initiating orthodontic treatment, and regular monitoring of their periodontal condition is essential throughout the orthodontic process. Periodontal disease does not preclude a patient from undergoing orthodontic treatment. On the contrary, appropriately managed orthodontic treatment can contribute to improving the health of the periodontal tissues. Correcting tooth alignment can eliminate factors that predispose to occlusal overload, pathological attrition (wear), and the development of periodontal pockets. Orthodontic treatment also often leads to increased patient awareness regarding oral hygiene, which, in turn, translates to improved periodontal health.
For instance, if the cause of malocclusion is a very tight lingual frenum (tongue-tie), then orthodontic appliance therapy alone may either fail to achieve proper occlusion, or the occlusion established by the orthodontist may relapse to its pre-treatment state due to incorrect tongue function. The same principle applies to mouth breathing in patients with ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) conditions, such as enlarged tonsils. Ensuring airway patency is crucial for achieving successful and stable treatment outcomes. We do not leave our patients to face any of their issues alone. We provide comprehensive care.
