During your surgery, we’ll carefully remove some of the alveolar bone (the portion of the jaw that holds the teeth). As a result, the mineral content of the bone is temporarily reduced, allowing for more rapid tooth movement before the softened bone fully heals. This also allows for more specific tooth movements that may not otherwise have been possible. When this process is finished a few months later, the bone surrounding your tooth roots will be stronger than before, securing a longer-lasting outcome of your orthodontic treatment. Many patients who combine braces with surgical orthodontics in Carbondale, IL can complete their treatment in an average of just 3-8 months!
