To achieve ideal results, some patients need orthodontic treatment in combination with Jaw surgery Yulee.

In fact, because moving the jaws also moves the teeth, orthognathic surgery is usually performed in conjunction with orthodontics so that the teeth are in the proper position after surgery. The objective of orthognathic surgery is the correction of a wide range of minor and major facial and jaw irregularities, and benefits include an improved ability to chew, speak and breathe. In many cases, an enhanced appearance can also result. Please contact our dentists at Onshore Orthodontics.
