Braces for Jaw Surgery
Do I need Jaw Surgery?
Do you have difficulty biting? Do you feel that your jaw is disproportionately long or short? Perhaps you feel that your jaw or face is asymmetrical?
If the answer is yes, there might be a chance that the problem lies not only with your teeth, but also the jaws. People with an underbite or open bite problem may have difficulty in pronouncing certain words and may even have problems biting.
Severe jaw and biting alignment problems may require the the braces dentist to straighten the teeth, and an oral surgeon to perform a jaw (orthognathic) surgery to align the jaws. This is because braces alone is ineffective against severe biting problems. Major differences in jaw size or position can only be corrected surgically.
The common jaw issues that we see are :
- Long, prominent lower jaw
- Gummy smile
- Short, retruded chin
- Open bite
- Facial asymmetry
- Facial elongation
After the entire treatment is complete, there will be significant improvement in speech, biting and most importantly, the facial appearance.
At the Braces Practice, we have experienced in-house Oral Surgeons to formulate a treatment plan for you. We understand that this would be a big decision for you, therefore we recommend that you bring along family members and friends to help support you through this journey! If you do have any personal questions, Dr. Tay has personally been through orthognathic surgery. She looks forward to share her experience with you.

Why Choose Us?
Making the decision to do braces may sometimes be overwhelming. For a start, which clinic to go to and what type of braces to choose may already give you much to think about.
A common misconception among patients and parents is that the final results will be the same no matter which clinic they go. Finding the lowest price may therefore become the main guiding factor. Unfortunately, this is not true as treatment philosophies vary among dental clinics. The following areas are where we stand out from the rest.
1. Minimal Intervention & Transparent Pricing
Our orthodontic treatment philosophy is minimal intervention. This means we only do what is in your best interests to achieve that healthy and confident smile. Our dental team will not recommend unnecessary treatments. On cases that allow, our dentists sometimes advise against tooth extraction(s) before braces treatment.
2. Affordable Payment Plans & Student Packages
Financial ability should not come between you and a healthy, confident smile. For this reason, we provide interest-free instalment plans and Student pricing. Contact us for details and eligibility.
3. Individual Care By A Team of Highly Trained Dentists & Staff
To provide continuity of orthodontic care, your dentist will follow through your braces journey to completion. This also ensures a high level of individual care is achieved. In addition, you will be supported by our highly trained staff team, who will be able to respond to your enquiries proficiently throughout your treatment duration.
4. Convenience & Availability
Monthly follow-up is an integral part of your braces journey to ensure smooth progress towards the final desired orthodontic result. That being said, your follow-ups should cause minimal disruptions to your daily schedule. Our convenient locations and extended working hours allow us to work around your schedule so that you can focus on what’s important and visit the clinic when you are ready.
