In severe adolescent cases and in non-growing patients (adults), a combined approach of surgery and orthodontics may be recommended to correct a bite problem. This type of treatment involves coordination of treatment with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon – a specialist in the correction of jaw deformities.

Why should I consider a surgical orthodontic approach to my problem?

The answer falls into two broad categories:

• The severity of the malocclusion is so great to make orthodontic correction of the bite virtually impossible.
• The correction of the bite through orthodontic means alone would compromise functional goals or be detrimental to facial esthetics.
