A treatment plan that calls for orthognathic surgery requires that your orthodontist and your oral surgeon work as a team. In most cases, patients will begin orthodontic treatment first to set up their bite so that they are ready for surgery. The orthodontist and oral surgeon will then collaborate during the surgical planning phase in order to ensure a predictable outcome. After surgery, orthodontic treatment will resume until all corrections have been made. This final phase of treatment helps to “fine-tune” the position of the teeth.
