Orthodontic Procedures
How Oral Surgery Supports Orthodontic Treatment
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists often collaborate to help patients achieve a healthy, functional, and confident smile. Your orthodontist may refer you to Carolina Oral & Facial Surgery to see Dr. Bart D. Williams III, board certified oral surgeon, for specialized procedures to assist orthodontic treatment.
Common reasons for referral include tooth extractions, exposure of impacted teeth, surgical molar uprighting, frenectomy, gingivectomy, dental implant planning, and corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic). Because every orthodontic case is unique, we often see patients as part of your comprehensive treatment plan—sometimes before your braces are placed and again after they are removed—to help achieve the best possible outcome.
