Surgical Orthodontics

Dr. Newhart is a nationally recognized authority on Surgical Orthodontics. He trained at UCLA, which is world renowned for its surgical orthodontic department. He has treated hundreds of patients who require this advanced orthodontic care.

Surgical Orthodontics involves repositioning of one or both jaws and the accompanying teeth. Orthodontics and jaw surgery are used together when the bite problem is severe. In these cases combined treatment results in improved facial profile and more stable alignment of the teeth than with braces alone.
