Transforming Smiles With Surgical Precision
At Bennett Orthodontics, we specialize in surgical orthodontics, a transformative approach to correcting severe jaw and bite irregularities.
Dr. Bennett and his team expertly navigate these complex treatments, ensuring every patient gets a harmonious, healthy smile.
Why Choose Surgical Orthodontics?
Surgical orthodontics at Bennett Orthodontics isn't just a procedure — it's a pathway to a better smile and improved oral health.
Ideal for adults who've outgrown their jaw development phase — typically around 16 for females and 18 for males — this treatment tackles challenges that braces alone can't fix.
If your jaws don't align just right, causing bite issues or aesthetic concerns, Dr. Bennett's expertise in orthognathic surgery can be the key to unlocking your ideal smile. This surgery realigns your jaw, setting the stage for braces to fine-tune your teeth's position.
Understanding Orthognathic Surgery
Jaw surgery — also called orthognathic surgery — is a major part of your orthodontic treatment, and at Dr. Bennett's office, we make sure it's handled with the utmost care. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon performs this surgery in a hospital setting. The duration of the surgery is based on your unique needs.
You'll enter a critical recovery phase following the surgery. We recommend taking about two weeks off from work or school to focus on healing. This time is essential for your well-being and the success of the surgery.
Once your jaw has healed, Dr. Bennett will take over to fine-tune your bite. This is where braces come back into play. You'll typically wear them for another 6 to 12 months to secure the perfect alignment of your teeth.
The final step in your journey is the retainer phase. Wearing a retainer ensures that your beautiful new smile stays just as it should be. At Bennett Orthodontics, we're committed to guiding you through each step of this transformative process with care and precision.
Consult With Dr. Bennett
Every case is unique, and Dr. Bennett's tailors his approach to your specific needs. Whether your jaw alignment requires surgical intervention or can be managed with orthodontic treatments alone, Dr. Bennett will provide a clear, personalized plan.
It's about finding the right path to your perfect smile — and sometimes, that path might include surgery. At Bennett Orthodontics you're in capable hands every step of the way.
