Request an AppointmentOrthognathic Surgery Support
For patients whose jaw irregularities cannot be corrected with braces alone, orthognathic (jaw) surgery may be recommended. These cases often involve issues with bite alignment, facial symmetry, or airway function. We provide the pre- and post-surgical orthodontic treatment needed to align teeth and support optimal surgical outcomes. Dr. Katherine & Dr. Lisa collaborate closely with oral and maxillofacial surgeons to plan and execute successful treatment.
Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies
Cleft palate, cleidocranial dysplasia, and other craniofacial anomalies require long-term, coordinated care. We offer orthodontic treatment that complements surgical and therapeutic interventions, helping patients achieve functional, healthy smiles as they grow. Whether it’s early interceptive care for young children or complex orthodontics for teens and adults, our team is here to help.
Compassionate, Personalized Treatment
Every patient is unique, and we are committed to creating customized treatment plans tailored to individual needs. Our experience in managing complex orthodontic cases ensures that families receive not only expert care but also the compassion and understanding they deserve.
If you or your child has been referred for orthognathic surgery or is part of a craniofacial care team, we welcome you to schedule a consultation. Let us be part of your support system in achieving the best possible outcome.
