Irvine Jaw Surgery
Correcting Jaw Alignment for Better Function
For patients with severe jaw misalignment or bite issues, surgical orthodontics at Aviate Orthodontics can provide life-changing results.
Also known as orthognathic surgery, this treatment combines orthodontic care with jaw surgery to correct skeletal concerns that braces or aligners alone cannot fix.
What Is Surgical Orthodontics?
Surgical orthodontics—also called orthognathic treatment—combines orthodontic care with corrective jaw surgery to address significant skeletal discrepancies.
These cases often involve jaw alignment issues that affect chewing, speaking, breathing, or facial symmetry.
Dr. Dinh uses orthodontic treatment before and after surgery to properly align your teeth while working with an oral surgeon to correct your underlying jaw structure.
