Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery Coordination

Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery Coordination

Comprehensive Planning. Surgical Precision. Life-Changing Results.

For some patients, braces or aligners alone are not enough to correct significant jaw discrepancies. When the upper and lower jaws are not properly aligned, orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic (jaw) surgery may be the most effective solution.

At Wow Orthodontics, we provide comprehensive evaluation, detailed planning, and full coordination for orthognathic surgery cases — guiding you with clarity and confidence every step of the way.

Advanced Expertise in Jaw Surgery

Dr. Aymach has extensive research and academic training in orthognathic surgery. His PhD focused specifically on orthognathic (jaw) surgery, and he has published numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles related to jaw correction, facial balance, and surgical-orthodontic treatment planning.

This level of academic depth, combined with his clinical orthodontic expertise and oral surgery training, provides patients with a uniquely comprehensive evaluation that is not commonly found in traditional orthodontic settings.

What Is Orthognathic Surgery?

Orthognathic surgery is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to reposition the jaws when there is:

1

Severe overbite or underbite

2

Open bite

3

Facial asymmetry

4

Significant jaw discrepancies

5

Functional issues affecting speech or chewing

Braces or clear aligners are used before and after surgery to ensure the teeth are ideally positioned for proper jaw alignment and long-term stability.

Why Coordination Is Critical

Successful jaw surgery cases depend on seamless coordination between the orthodontist and the oral surgeon. Precise timing and communication are essential.

Because Dr. Aymach has both orthodontic expertise and extensive oral surgery training — along with advanced research in orthognathic surgery — he is able to:

1

Perform a comprehensive skeletal and dental evaluation

2

Determine whether surgery is truly necessary

3

Provide balanced, evidence-based recommendations

4

Prepare teeth ideally before surgery

5

Communicate precisely with the surgical team

6

Oversee post-surgical orthodontic finishing

This integrated approach minimizes confusion and avoids the possibility of conflicting opinions that sometimes occur when care is fragmented between providers.

The Treatment Process

1. Comprehensive Examination — Digital scans, photographs, and detailed imaging are used to evaluate jaw position, bite function, and facial balance.
2. Pre-Surgical Orthodontics — Braces or aligners align the teeth in preparation for surgical repositioning.
3. Surgical Phase — The oral and maxillofacial surgeon repositions the jaws for optimal function and facial harmony.
4. Post-Surgical Orthodontics — Final adjustments refine the bite and ensure stability.

Throughout each stage, we closely monitor progress and coordinate every detail.

Transformative Results

When properly planned and executed, orthognathic surgery can:

1

Dramatically improve bite function

2

Enhance facial balance and profile

3

Reduce jaw strain

4

Improve speech and chewing efficiency

5

Provide long-term stability

For many patients, the results are not only functional — they are life-changing.

Thoughtful, Individualized Recommendations

Not every jaw discrepancy requires surgery. In certain cases, orthodontic camouflage may be an alternative. Dr. Aymach provides honest, individualized recommendations based on scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and your personal goals.

Our philosophy is simple: recommend what is appropriate — not what is excessive.

Orthognathic treatment requires advanced knowledge, precision planning, and experience. With specialized research, a PhD focused on jaw surgery, and extensive publication in the field, Dr. Aymach offers a rare level of expertise in surgical orthodontic care.
