Surgical Orthodontics NYC Patients Trust for Complex Jaw Correction
When jaw position — not just tooth position — is the problem, braces or aligners alone can’t fully correct it. Surgical orthodontics combines orthodontic treatment with jaw surgery to restore function, balance, and stability.
For surgical orthodontics, NYC patients need two things: an orthodontist experienced in surgical planning, and seamless coordination with trusted oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Since 1974, our Manhattan practice has provided both.
Surgical Orthodontics NYC Specialists Plan in Careful Stages
Some bites are rooted in skeletal structure. In those cases, the orthognathic surgery Manhattan surgeons perform repositions the jaws — while orthodontics before and after ensures teeth fit the new foundation perfectly.
Treatment is staged deliberately: preparation, surgery, refinement. Every phase is planned digitally with your surgical team before anything begins.
- Corrects significant overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Improves chewing, speaking, and daily comfort
- Enhances facial symmetry and profile balance
- Supports long-term bite stability
- Coordinates care between orthodontist and surgeon
- Creates results not possible with braces alone

Choosing surgical treatment is a meaningful decision — you deserve clear explanations and confident coordination at every step.
STEP 1
Comprehensive Consultation
Records, 3D imaging, and honest evaluation determine whether surgical orthodontics NYC specialists would actually recommend surgery — or whether camouflage treatment can achieve your goals without it.
STEP 2
Pre-Surgical Orthodontics
Braces or aligners are used to position the teeth properly before surgery. This stage prepares the bite for the most accurate surgical outcome.
STEP 3
Jaw Surgery
Your oral surgeon performs the planned procedure to reposition the jaws. We coordinate closely throughout the process to support continuity of care.
