"What happens after corrective
jaw surgery,
Dr. Ogborn?"
 After surgery, you will experience some
discomfort that is usually not significant; the pain can be controlled
with medications. Your healing will take some time. Normally, at BL Ogborn DDS Inc you can
return to work or school within two weeks.
After four to eight weeks following
surgery, your orthodontic treatment will continue to
complete the proper positioning of your teeth. Usually your braces are
removed within 6 to 12 months after surgery.
Following the removal of your braces,
schedule an appointment with us for a check-up. You'll have
plenty to celebrate with all the benefits gained as a result of the
corrective surgery.
"Dr. Ogborn, what about
any surgical scars?"
Since most incisions are made inside
the mouth, no external scars are usually visible. If incisions are
needed externally, I try to conceal them in natural skin
creases.
