Surgical Orthodontics in Markham

Advanced Treatment for Complex Orthodontic Needs

Understanding Surgical Orthodontics

The Perfect Combination of Orthodontics and Surgical Expertise

Surgical orthodontics (orthognathic surgery) is a specialized treatment approach that corrects severe jaw misalignments and bite problems that cannot be addressed with braces or aligners alone. This advanced procedure combines the expertise of orthodontics with oral and maxillofacial surgery to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic results.

Patients with significant jaw discrepancies, facial asymmetry, or severe malocclusions may benefit from this comprehensive treatment. At Oasis Orthodontics, Dr. Sharma works closely with skilled oral surgeons to create personalized treatment plans that deliver exceptional outcomes for our Markham patients.

The Benefits of Surgical Orthodontics

Life-Changing Results for Complex Cases

Improved Facial Balance

Surgical repositioning of the jaws creates harmony between facial features, enhancing overall appearance and creating a more balanced profile.

Enhanced Chewing Function

Correcting severe jaw misalignments dramatically improves bite function, making it easier to chew food properly and reducing strain on jaw muscles.

Better Speech Clarity

Properly aligned jaws and teeth allow for clearer speech patterns, especially for patients whose misalignments have affected pronunciation.

Relief from TMJ Pain

Many patients experience significant reduction in jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ disorders following surgical correction of jaw discrepancies.

Long-term Stability

Addressing the underlying skeletal issues creates more stable results than orthodontic treatment alone, reducing the chance of relapse.

How Surgical Orthodontics Differs from Standard Treatment

Beyond Conventional Orthodontic Care

While traditional orthodontics can correct many alignment issues, some skeletal discrepancies require surgical intervention. Surgical orthodontics addresses the underlying bone structure, repositioning the jaws to create proper alignment and facial balance.

This approach is typically recommended for adult patients whose jaw growth is complete (usually by age 16 for females and 18 for males). The combined surgical-orthodontic treatment ensures both proper tooth alignment and skeletal harmony for optimal function and appearance.

The Surgical Orthodontics Process

Your Journey to a Transformed Smile

Pre-Surgical Orthodontics

Braces or aligners prepare your teeth for optimal positioning after surgery, typically lasting 6–18 months.

Surgical Procedure

Performed by an oral surgeon in a hospital setting, the procedure precisely repositions the jaws according to the treatment plan.

Recovery Period

Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 weeks, with a soft food diet recommended during initial healing.

Post-Surgical Orthodontics

Fine-tuning of your bite continues for 6–12 months after surgery to perfect your new smile.

Retention

Retainers maintain your beautiful results for years to come, preserving your investment.
