Retreatment (Re-Orthodontics) — We will be the final destination of your orthodontic journey
Retreatment may be needed in cases such as:
- Teeth have become crooked again
- Gaps have opened up between the teeth
- After orthodontic treatment, the front teeth are angled too far outward, or tilted too far inward (retroclined)
- Even after orthodontic treatment, there are still aspects of the facial profile you are not satisfied with
Surgical Orthodontics for Jaw Deformity — Get a consultation at an orthodontic clinic first
Orthognathic surgery — commonly known as “two-jaw surgery” — is originally the domain of dentistry, not plastic surgery. That is because the occlusion (the way the teeth contact when they come together), which must be taken into account whenever the jawbone is operated on, is handled by dentistry.
Therefore, orthognathic surgery must always be accompanied by orthodontic treatment, and it is best to consult with an orthodontist before undergoing surgery. First, discuss whether your case can be treated with orthodontics alone. If the orthodontist determines that this is not possible, that is the time to consider surgical orthodontics.
In addition, whether it is better to start orthodontic treatment before the surgery, or to have the surgery first and receive orthodontic treatment afterward, is another point that needs to be discussed with your orthodontist. Drawing on extensive experience treating orthognathic surgery patients at a university hospital, Yonsei Godeok S Dental Clinic will deliver the best possible result.
