Hopewell Junction, United States - September 13, 2024 / Dutchess Orthodontics /
Dutchess Orthodontics understands that achieving a stunning smile sometimes goes beyond the traditional braces or Invisalign®. This is where their expertise in surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery or jaw surgery in Hopewell Junction, NY, comes into play. Tailored to address severe jaw bone abnormalities, malocclusions, and facial asymmetry, their comprehensive approach not only enhances your ability to chew, speak, and breathe but also elevates facial aesthetics for a balanced, beautiful appearance.
Who Can Benefit From Surgical Orthodontics?
Recognizing when to consider surgical orthodontics is pivotal. Typically recommended for adults whose jaws have ceased growth—a milestone reached around age 16 for females and 18 for males—surgical orthodontics is the source of hope for those facing issues that cannot be remedied with braces or aligners alone. Ideal candidates may suffer from severe jaw discrepancies, chronic jaw pain or TMJ disorders, obstructive sleep apnea due to jaw misalignment, facial asymmetry, difficulties in chewing, biting, or swallowing, or excessive tooth wear.
The Comprehensive Surgical Orthodontics Process
Embarking on the transformative journey of surgical orthodontics with Dutchess Orthodontics involves a harmonized collaboration between your orthodontist, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and occasionally other dental and medical professionals. Here's a sneak peek into the process:
Orthodontic Preparation
Prior to surgery, a phase of orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign® is undertaken, aiming to align the teeth within each jaw for optimal fit post-surgery.
Surgical Phase
Conducted in a hospital setting under general anesthesia, the orthognathic surgery phase involves repositioning the jaws—upper, lower, or both—based on individual needs to ensure functional and aesthetic harmony.
Post-Surgical Orthodontics
Following a recovery period, minor adjustments may be required to fine-tune the bite, a phase that generally spans a few months.
Retention
To maintain the stunning results, wearing a retainer post-surgery and orthodontic adjustments is imperative.

Opting for surgical orthodontics at Dutchess Orthodontics not only catapults you towards achieving the smile of your dreams but also brings forth a myriad of functional benefits, including improved chewing, speaking, and breathing capabilities, relief from chronic jaw pain and TMJ-related headaches, enhanced sleep quality for those battling obstructive sleep apnea, and a significant boost in self-confidence and overall life quality.
