Do you need orthodontic treatment for jaw surgery?

Jaw surgery is

a procedure considered a major operation at hospitals,

and while it carries significant risks,

for those with severe malocclusion,

it may be a medically necessary treatment

a person has no choice but to consider for survival.

If you have to undergo jaw surgery

despite the risks,

Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic explains

the questions you may have.

Can you only have dental jaw surgery orthodontics?

If the malocclusion is not severe,

dental jaw surgery orthodontics alone

can be enough to improve the malocclusion.

If the cause of the malocclusion is a skeletal issue,

jaw surgery is needed.

If the cause of the malocclusion is not a skeletal issue

but a problem with the teeth and gums,

only jaw orthodontic treatment can be performed.

If both a skeletal issue and a problem with the teeth and gums are present,

it is best to proceed with both jaw surgery and jaw orthodontic treatment.

To receive an accurate diagnosis,

we recommend visiting a hospital where a board-certified orthodontist and a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon

are both on site.

This is because jaw surgery falls under oral and maxillofacial surgery,

while jaw orthodontic treatment falls under orthodontics.

Effects of dental jaw surgery orthodontics A malocclusion caused by problems with the teeth and gums The jaw itself is not large or long You would like facial changes but do not want major changes You absolutely do not want jaw surgery in plastic surgery The malocclusion is not severe enough to require such major surgery If any of the above apply,

you may benefit from dental jaw surgery orthodontics,

which uses mini-screws

to induce changes in the position of the temporomandibular joint.

Pre-surgical orthodontics, surgery first, then orthodontics

If you have decided to undergo jaw surgery in plastic surgery,

you have likely also been told that orthodontic treatment is necessary.

Not every jaw surgery case

requires orthodontic treatment,

but because most malocclusions

are accompanied by irregular tooth alignment,

proceeding with jaw surgery alone without orthodontic treatment

may make functional recovery difficult.

Orthodontic treatment accompanying jaw surgery includes

pre-surgical orthodontics and surgery-first

as forms of dental jaw surgery orthodontics.

Pre-surgical orthodontics

is a method in which orthodontic treatment is performed before surgery

when it is difficult to accurately determine the amount of tooth or bone removal,

followed by another round of orthodontic treatment after surgery.

Surgery-first

is the traditional method,

in which surgery is performed first

and orthodontic treatment is performed once after surgery.
