However, the fact that the bones are plated and secured together eliminates bony movement, hence reducing the discomfort. Following completion of the surgical orthodontic process, dental health is improved - no more bad bites or crooked teeth. The jawbones and profile relationships are also more stable, functional and esthetic.
Facial appearance is improved.
