Pre-surgical orthodontics for Jaw Surgery
Prepare Your Bite and Jaws for Safe, Successful Surgery
Pre-surgical orthodontics is an important preparatory phase for patients who require jaw (orthognathic) surgery to correct severe bite or jaw alignment problems. This stage focuses on aligning the teeth properly so that the jaws can be repositioned accurately during surgery. At Dr. Anamika Jha’s dental clinic in Jamshedpur, pre-surgical orthodontic treatment is provided as part of our specialized Orthodontics care, with careful planning and close coordination.
Correct preparation improves surgical precision and long-term stability. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, orthodontic preparation plays a critical role in achieving predictable and functional surgical outcomes.
What Is Pre-Surgical Orthodontic Treatment?
Pre-surgical orthodontics involves using braces or aligners before jaw surgery to move teeth into their ideal positions. While this phase may temporarily make the bite feel less comfortable, it ensures that once the jaws are corrected surgically, the teeth will fit together properly.
This treatment helps:
Align teeth before jaw repositioning
Improve surgical accuracy
Support stable, long-term results
Enhance facial balance and bite function
The Royal College of Surgeons explains that proper orthodontic preparation is essential for successful orthognathic surgery.
Who Needs Pre-Surgical Orthodontics?
Pre-surgical orthodontics may be recommended for patients with:
Severe jaw misalignment
Significant overbite, underbite, or open bite
Facial asymmetry due to jaw position
Bite problems that cannot be corrected with orthodontics alone
Dr. Anamika Jha carefully evaluates dental alignment, jaw position, and facial structure before recommending this treatment.
