Conditions Treated with Orthodontic Surgery

Orthodontic surgery, also called orthognathic surgery, may be recommended when a bite problem is caused by the position or size of the jaws. In these cases, braces or aligners alone may not fully correct the issue. Surgical orthodontic treatment may help with more severe forms of:
Overbite
The upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth too much.
Underbite
The lower jaw and teeth sit in front of the upper teeth.
Crossbite
One or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
Open Bite
The upper and lower front teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed.
Protrusion
The upper front teeth extend too far forward over the lower teeth.
Facial Imbalance
The upper and lower jaws do not line up in a way that supports a balanced facial appearance.
Difficulty Chewing or Biting
Jaw alignment makes it hard to bite, chew, or close the teeth together comfortably.

Healthy Smiles at Every Age

Orthodontic treatment is highly effective at absolutely any stage of life. We design custom treatment plans tailored precisely to the biological and lifestyle needs of children, teens, and adults.

What to Expect During Treatment

Comprehensive Consultation

Your first visit includes a thorough evaluation of how your teeth, jaws, and bite fit together. From there, we can tell whether your situation could be corrected with braces or aligners alone, or whether the position or size of your jaws means surgery should be part of the plan.

Pre-Surgical Orthodontic Treatment

Braces are often used before surgery to move the teeth into the right position. This helps prepare your bite for the surgical phase of treatment.

Progress Visits

You will visit our office for routine adjustments and progress checks. These appointments help keep your treatment on track before surgery.

Jaw Surgery

If surgery is part of your plan, the procedure is typically completed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Our team coordinates with your surgeon to support your overall treatment plan.

Final Bite Adjustments

After surgery and recovery, orthodontic treatment continues so we can fine-tune your bite and finish your smile.

Retainers

Once active treatment is complete, retainers help protect your results and keep your smile in place.

Orthodontic Technology We Use

Cosse & Silmon Orthodontics uses advanced orthodontic technology to help plan treatment with accuracy and comfort. Digital imaging, scanners, and treatment planning tools, such as the iTero Element® scanner, help our team evaluate your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment. For complex cases, this technology helps us create a more detailed plan and better coordinate care throughout treatment.
