Surgical Orthodontics in Modesto: When Braces Need a Partner
· Legendary Orthodontics
When jaw position is the problem
Some underbites and open bites come from how the jaws are positioned, not just the teeth. In those cases, braces are combined with corrective jaw surgery performed by an oral surgeon.
A coordinated team
Our Modesto orthodontists align the teeth before and after surgery and coordinate every step with your surgeon. Medical insurance often covers part of the surgery when there is a functional problem.
