Orthodontics for Jaw Surgery in Vienna, VA
We work with the best oral and facial surgeons in our area to coordinate orthodontic care and jaw surgery. Surgery may be needed to correct a poorly aligned jaw or over- or underdevelopment of certain bones. A lower jaw may be severely misaligned with the upper jaw, resulting in an overbite or underbite.
In these cases, a person may not be able to fully close their mouth or chew their food. Speech or breathing may be impaired. Orthodontic treatment alone may not resolve the issue.
Working With Surgeons
For optimum results, it is best practice to work with an orthodontic provider before and after surgery. Before surgery, teeth are moved into their proper positions. After surgery, aligning the teeth is completed, now that facial and jaw bones have been reshaped.
If Dr. Al finds that you or your child need surgery for optimal results, you can count on him to carefully coordinate your care with the best surgeons in our area.
