Advanced Orthodontic Solutions for Complex Cases in Tracy & Manteca, CA
At New Smiles Orthodontics, we offer surgical orthodontics (also known as orthognathic surgery) for patients with severe jaw misalignment or bite irregularities that cannot be corrected with braces or aligners alone.
This treatment combines orthodontic care with oral surgery to restore balance, function, and aesthetics to your smile.
What Is Surgical Orthodontics?
Surgical orthodontics is used to correct significant issues with jaw alignment, facial symmetry, and severe bite problems. It involves a collaborative approach between your orthodontist and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Braces are typically worn before and after surgery to help guide your teeth into their proper positions as the jaw is realigned.
