Surgical orthodontics

When upper and lower jaws don’t align properly, surgical orthodontics may be the key to correcting the issue. This treatment typically combines orthodontic appliances (like braces or aligners) with orthognathic surgery to reposition the jaw. At Davis Orthodontics, our doctors use cutting-edge digital imaging and computerized treatment planning for maximum accuracy. We collaborate closely with your oral surgeon throughout the process to ensure a smooth, successful outcome.

Dentofacial orthopedics

Dentofacial orthopedics focuses on guiding the growth and development of the jaw and facial bones in children. It often starts before all adult teeth have erupted and may involve expanders, space maintainers, or functional appliances. Our team customizes this early treatment to help prevent bigger issues down the road, setting the foundation for a balanced bite and confident smile.

Craniofacial orthodontics

This sub-specialty of orthodontics focuses on patients with congenital conditions such as cleft lip and palate. Dr. Buddy Davis has extensive experience working alongside surgeons and craniofacial teams to manage these cases from early childhood through adulthood. Our coordinated approach ensures your child receives the most comprehensive and compassionate care possible, with long-term planning and support built in.

Frequently asked questions

Not always. Many cases that once required jaw surgery can now be treated with braces or aligners alone. We’ll let you know if surgery is necessary after a full evaluation.

The best time is typically during childhood while the jaw is still growing. Early intervention can prevent more serious issues from developing later on.

In many cases, yes, especially when part of a coordinated treatment plan for conditions like cleft palate. We’ll help you navigate insurance options and coordinate with your medical providers.

Everyone here is beyond AMAZING! My daughter has mental health issues and is autistic. They are very patient with her and accommodating. They are the most amazing orthodontics office I’ve been to. She also got attached to the office manager. They are beyond accommodating. I would recommend to everyone.

My son actually looks forward to going to the orthodontist! Not only is the staff friendly and helpful, they make him feel seen — and that’s important to me when a kid is self conscious about his smile. They’re quick and efficient — and the dippin' dots don’t hurt either!
