FAQ
What dentofacial deformity do I have?
Your dentofacial deformity may be Class III (prominent lower jaw), Class II (small lower jaw), vertical maxillary excess (gummy smile), short lower face, or facial asymmetry.
How long will the entire process take?
The length of the entire process from presurgical orthodontics to jaw surgery to post surgical refinements will vary from patient-to-patient, but may take 9-14 months. If you are a candidate for ‘surgery-first’ or ‘rapid orthodontic preparation,’ then your length of treatment will be shortened considerably.
