Upper Jaw Surgery

1. Braces are put on first

2. When the teeth are aligned, you are ready for jaw surgery

3. Upper jaw surgery is done inside mouth without outside scars.

4. The surgery moves the teeth forward.

5. Titanium plates are used to hold the bone together until it heals.

6. We never wire the jaw closed.

7. We use dental elastics to guide the new bite.
