Jaw surgery to restore your smile
Corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is an advanced orthodontic treatment that corrects jaw growth and alignment problems. Thanks to technological advances, this type of intervention can also correct malocclusion problems in adults.
Orthodontie Côte-des-Neiges uses orthodontic technology to solve your orthodontic problems as discreetly as possible. If you suffer from problems chewing, periodontitis, jaw pain, snoring or issues related to the shape of your face, jaw surgery may be the ideal solution for you.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist?
Dentists are general practitioners. They deal in many aspects of oral health, while an orthodontist specializes in the correction of malocclusions, dental alignment and dentofacial orthopedics.
Are orthodontic fees covered by Quebec health insurance?
Unfortunately, no. If you have private or group insurance, we will provide you with an orthodontic insurance form to submit to your insurance company. Orthodontic fees are tax-deductible.
Should I continue to see my dentist during orthodontic treatment?
You should continue to visit your dentist regularly during your orthodontic treatment. The professional fees for your orthodontic treatment exclude the cost of routine dental care.
How often should I visit my orthodontist?
Usually every 8 weeks, depending on the type of treatment you choose. Regular appointments are the key to a successful orthodontic treatment.
Do I have to change my eating habits during orthodontic treatment?
You will need avoid some food to prevent damage to the wires or cause your braces to come loose.
How do I brush my braces?
Braces do not interfere with your regular brushing. We will provide a kit and give you hygiene and brushing instructions.
Will it be hard for me to speak?
In the days following the installation of your appliances, your speech may be slightly slurred, but keep in mind that this is temporary.
