The choice of fixed braces or Invisalign for jaw surgery depends on many factors. When you have a skeletal imbalance, with time, teeth would have adapted and compensated to this. Once the jaw imbalance has been corrected via surgery, teeth must also move to reflect the new jaw positions. Otherwise, the bite will be unstable and adversely affect the surgical outcome.
Our orthodontic team at MyBracesClinic has used Invisalign, traditional fixed braces, Damon braces, Damon ceramic braces, and even lingual braces with Surgery-First jaw surgery. The experience and expertise of our Orthodontic Team at MyBracesClinic, together with the input from our partnering Oral Surgeons will be invaluable in determining the suitability of fixed braces or Invisalign for your case.
The cost of moving teeth for jaw surgery must be considered. Invisalign is more expensive than traditional fixed metal braces for jaw surgery.
Fixed braces or Invisalign for jaw surgery, BOTH systems will always need orthodontic elastics afte the surgery to move teeth and coordinate the arches. These elastics need to be changed regularly and our Drs will guide you on this.
