Your general orthodontist is simply going to rearrange your teeth and get them lined up where they should be. If you have crooked teeth and no other issues, then your general orthodontist is probably going to be the person that you’ll see. He will put some braces on you or some other appliance to help align your teeth to make sure that they are straight, and your bite is properly formed. General orthodontists quite simply reposition your teeth for optimal function and aesthetics.
Your surgical orthodontists do the same thing except for they take it to a slightly different level. Surgical orthodontists, oral surgeons, work to fix functionality in the jaw to ensure proper chewing, speaking, breathing, and facial appearance. So whereas your general orthodontist straightens your teeth your surgical orthodontist, oral surgeon, straightens your jaw. Most often when you are working on a person’s jaw, you are also going to be working on their teeth as their teeth are likely to to move with their jaw. Therefore, often braces are also applied when working on a person’s jaw.
A surgical orthodontist is most often only needed when a patient’s bones have stopped growing. This is typically going to be you’re adult patient. Adult patients will get surgical orthodontic work by an oral surgeon when they have aesthetic issues that they want to fix about the jaw, or they have bite misalignments. The oral surgeon and the orthodontist will work together to ensure that as the jaw is reshaped the teeth are put into proper alignment.
The other type of orthodontic work that the three Owasso orthodontists at Kirkpatrick and Lai Orthodontics specializing in is dentofacial pediatric orthodontics. The dentofacial pediatrics helps to ensure that a child’s facial bone structures are growing properly. If the facial bone structures are not growing properly, and disfigurement or sub-optimal bone structure could develop which could lead ultimately to the need for surgical orthodontics down the road. This is why it is extremely important to be able to catch these types of issues early and have them seen by a dental facial pediatric orthodontist as soon as possible.
Often, just like the surgical orthodontics, dental facial pediatrics is paired with braces. Braces simply make sure that the teeth are aligned properly as any other procedure is taking place.
