Corrective Jaw Surgery in Washington, D.C.

Before any treatment begins, a consultation will be held to conduct a complete examination, including obtaining a 3D cone-beam imaging scan. These images not only provide important visual information about your jawbone structure and alignment needs, but are also used during surgery when the X-Guide® system is used. This ensures the highest levels of accuracy and precision, reduces surgical time, and reduces certain surgical risks.

During the pre-treatment consultation, feel free to ask any questions you have about your treatment. When you are fully informed about the aspects of your care, you and your dental team can decide together whether to proceed with treatmen

Our doctors use modern computer techniques and three-dimensional models to show you exactly how your surgery will be approached. Using comprehensive facial X-rays and computer imaging, we can show you how your bite will improve and even give you an idea of how you’ll look after surgery. This helps you understand the surgical process and the extent of the treatment prescribed. Our goal is to help you see the benefits of orthognathic surgery.

As each procedure is highly tailored to the patient’s needs and to other processes, such as orthodontics, each surgical plan will be completely unique. Our doctors will work closely with your dentist and orthodontist during your treatment to ensure a smooth, effective process between offices and steps.

The actual surgery involves making small incisions and moving your teeth and jaws into a new position, sometimes using metal pins or plates to keep everything in place, resulting in a more attractive, functional, and healthy dental-facial relationship.

After discussing your current condition and showing you the dental implant plan, our team will schedule the next steps.
