When a patient has abnormalities with their facial bones, usually the jaw bones and teeth, Dr. Lee recommends corrective jaw surgery, medically known as orthognathic surgery. Difficulty chewing, talking, sleeping and other activities are often the results of such abnormalities. With orthognathic surgery performed by Dr. Lee, surgery can correct these problems and, along with orthodontic treatment, can improve the overall appearance of the patient’s facial profile.
In your consultation, Dr. Lee will use digital imaging technology to demonstrate the overall functional and aesthetic benefits of your orthognathic surgery. By using computerized treatment planning, Dr. Lee can minimize your treatment time, recovery period and the overall effectiveness of your surgery. State-of-the-art materials, such as titanium plates and miniature screws, allow Dr. Lee to provide stability, strength and predictability to your treatment. These advances in technology, procedures and equipment reduce post-surgical recovery time, thus allowing patients to return to their normal routines soon after the surgery. |
