🦷 “My braces aren’t working…” — But is the problem really your teeth?
Many people think braces can fix every bite problem. The truth is, braces move teeth, not jaw bones.
👉 If your upper and lower jaws are not aligned properly, braces alone may struggle to create a healthy bite. In some cases, forcing the teeth to compensate can put extra stress on the gums, roots, and surrounding bone.
✅ That's where orthognathic (jaw) surgery can make the difference. By correcting the jaw position first, the teeth can fit together naturally, creating a healthier bite, better facial balance, and long-term stability.
Think of it this way: 🏠 Jaw = Foundation 🪑 Teeth = Furniture
When the foundation is off, rearranging the furniture won't fix the house.
📩 Wondering whether your case needs braces alone or a combination of braces and jaw surgery? Book a consultation and get a personalized evaluation.
