Jaw surgery preparation in Manchester
If you’re considering jaw surgery to correct an overbite, underbite, or jaw misalignment, we’re here to support you. While Bamford Orthodontic Practice doesn’t perform jaw surgery in-house, we’re highly experienced in the orthodontic preparation needed for successful orthognathic surgery. Based in Rochdale and working with patients across Manchester, we guide you through every step of your treatment journey.
What is orthognathic surgery?
Orthognathic (jaw) surgery is performed by a maxillofacial surgeon to reposition the upper and/or lower jaw. It’s often recommended for patients with severe bite issues, facial asymmetry, or jaw function problems that can’t be corrected with orthodontics alone. At Bamford Orthodontics, we work closely with local surgeons to coordinate your orthodontic treatment before and after surgery.
Dr McNally - your orthognathic prep expert
Dr McNally is trained in the orthodontic preparation of patients undergoing jaw surgery. We’ll align your teeth in advance of your operation, ensuring your bite is in the right position to support a successful surgical outcome. Treatment is arranged privately, with our team closely collaborating with your surgical provider.
Can Invisalign® be used for jaw surgery preparation?
In some cases, yes. Depending on the complexity of your case, we may be able to use Invisalign® aligners to prepare your teeth for orthognathic surgery. We’ll assess your bite and advise you on the most effective and comfortable approach to your treatment.
Do I need jaw surgery?
You might be a candidate for jaw surgery and orthodontic preparation if you experience:
- A significant overbite or underbite
- Facial imbalance or asymmetry
- Chronic jaw pain or clicking
- Trouble biting, chewing, or speaking clearly
- A bite that hasn’t responded fully to braces or aligners alone
