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 Miami, FL 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.
