At London Dental Specialists: Our Dental Clinic in London, England, United Kingdom, we specialise in surgical orthodontics, combining advanced orthodontic treatment with jaw surgery to correct severe dental and skeletal irregularities. Our comprehensive approach addresses complex cases involving misaligned jaws, significant bite problems, and facial asymmetries that cannot be resolved through traditional orthodontic treatment alone.
Our surgical orthodontic procedures are performed by our experienced team of maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists, working in close collaboration to achieve optimal results. We utilise state-of-the-art techniques, including Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) and other advanced surgical methods, to correct issues such as severe overbites, underbites, open bites, and TMJ disorders. This transformative treatment not only enhances facial aesthetics but also significantly improves functional aspects like breathing, speaking, and chewing.
For patients seeking lasting solutions to complex orthodontic challenges, our surgical orthodontic treatment typically combines pre-surgical orthodontic preparation, precise surgical intervention, and post-surgical orthodontic refinement. We particularly focus on addressing adult cases where jaw growth has completed, typically after age 16 for females and 18 for males, ensuring the most stable and effective outcomes for our patients.

Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialised treatment that combines orthodontic care with jaw surgery to correct severe dental and skeletal irregularities. This advanced procedure helps improve both the functionality of your bite and the aesthetic appearance of your smile by properly aligning the jaws and teeth.
