Get Results Faster with Surgical Orthodontics

If you’re considering braces, or currently wear them, you may be discouraged by the amount of time your orthodontic treatment will take. Especially for adult patients, orthodontics can last between 2-3 years, during which time you have metal brackets and wires obstructing your smile. Our periodontist at Max Dental Group has a solution for you with surgical orthodontics in Plainview & Hicksville, NY! By partnering with your orthodontist, we can provide a procedure known as surgically facilitated orthodontic therapy (SFOT) to accelerate your treatment up to 2-3 times faster—often with more precise and longer-lasting results.

The Impact of Surgical Intervention

How Surgery Accelerates Orthodontics

Traditional orthodontic treatment with braces involves maintaining constant pressure on teeth to slowly move them through the bone and into position. For adults, this bone has completed its growth process and is both dense and strong, which often results in lengthier treatment. This also increases the likelihood of gum recession, bone loss, and gum disease. Our periodontist partners with your orthodontist, so we can assist in shortening your treatment process while minimizing the risk of structural damage from braces.

Surgical orthodontics in Plainview & Hicksville, NY involves precisely adjusting the gums and removing a minimal amount of bone around each of your teeth. This temporarily decreases the bone’s natural mineral content, so that teeth can freely move into position with significantly greater speed and accuracy. When the bone eventually heals, it is often stronger and denser than before, allowing for teeth to remain straight for predictably longer than with conventional braces treatment.
