Most commonly with surgical orthodontics you’ll start with braces, Invisalign, or clear aligners for about 10 to 18 months to get your teeth in the right spot. Then you will have your procedure, followed by 4-6 months of braces or aligners while everything heals and settles. Once treatment wraps up, you’ll maintain your new smile with a retainer—made extra easy with our RETAIN program, which delivers them straight to your door whenever you need one.

What Is Surgical Orthodontics, and Why Should You Care?

Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a corrective procedure for people with jaw irregularities that can’t be fixed with braces or aligners alone. We’re talking about misaligned jaws, severe bite issues, or facial asymmetry that makes chewing difficult.

Symptoms that might scream, “Hey, you need surgical orthodontics!” include:

• Persistent jaw pain or difficulty chewing.
• Aesthetic concerns, like asymmetry or disproportionate features.
• Bite issues that standard orthodontic treatment can’t fix alone..

Surgical orthodontics isn’t just about correcting your bite. It’s about transforming your entire facial profile. It combines function with aesthetics to deliver a true jawline upgrade and long-lasting results.

 

Mint Orthodontics’ Approach to Surgical Orthodontics

You know us. We don’t do things halfway, and we definitely don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. At Mint Orthodontics, our approach to surgical orthodontics is even more personalized than your favorite Spotify playlist. Thoughtfully curated to align with your unique needs, goals, and lifestyle, because every patient deserves a treatment plan as unique as they are.

We start with a free, comprehensive evaluation. This includes digital imaging, 3D scan, and an expert consultation with Dr. Sudit. No old-school X-rays that look like they belong in a low-budget horror flick here. This is high-tech, ultra-precise diagnostic wizardry.

Once we map out exactly what’s going on, we partner with top-tier oral and maxillofacial surgeons to create a treatment plan that’s tailored to your specific needs. And because we’re fully digital, your entire journey is streamlined from start to finish. Fewer appointments, faster results, and more time to enjoy the perks of having a jaw that actually works (and looks) the way you want..

 

Why Putting Off Jaw Surgery Is Like Ignoring Red Flags

Here’s the harsh truth: The longer you wait, the more complicated things can get. Misaligned jaws can lead to everything from chronic pain and sleep apnea to issues with chewing and speaking. Not to mention the whole self-confidence thing when your facial structure feels… off. Lastly, the longer you wait, the more challenging recovery can be.
