Orthodontics and Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery is commonly undertaken in combination with orthodontic treatment. A phase of orthodontic treatment is necessary before surgery in order to place the teeth into the correct position so that when the jaw position has been corrected surgically the teeth meet normally. This also helps to improve the stability of surgical results. A short phase of orthodontic treatment is often necessary following surgery in order to fine tune the biting relationship. Dr Buckley collaborates with experienced Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons who perform the surgery.
