Jaw Surgery with Braces
WHEN DO YOU DO SURGICAL-ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?

Prior to adolescence, surgery is almost solely for children who have congenital
deformities or trauma related problems. For other children with severe growth
distortions, guiding growth is better than surgery, if possible. Surgical-orthodontics
is not often recommended before the adolescent growth spurt ends. That doesn't
mean surgery has to wait until all growth has ended. Jaw surgery has surprisingly
little effect on growth. So if the problem is deficient growth of the mandible or
maxilla, its okay to advance the deficient jaw soon after the growth spurt ends.

Our orthodontist has worked with numerous surgeons to correct problems. He is
highly qualified and trained in jaw surgery combined with braces.
