Today at Clínica Peydro we bring you the case of a young man who solved a severe malocclusion, along with other problems, with orthodontic treatment started in childhood.
The young man, who came to our clinic on the recommendation of people close to him, had an extremely severe malocclusion, an open bite, a width problem and multiple occlusal problems which, along with a facial problem, had stopped his bones —especially the jaws— from growing entirely normally.
Dr. Diego Peydro, a leading name in clear aligners in Valencia, decided to study his case carefully in order to find a treatment that was as minimally invasive as possible and would give the patient the best possible result.
Combining orthodontics for children with orthognathic surgery
At Clínica Peydro we like to see our patients smile, which is why Dr. Diego Peydro is always at the head of the treatment plan. He is the one who makes the decisions that lead to the best results.
Orthodontic treatment for children
After a meticulous study, the doctor opted for clear aligners combined with orthognathic surgery. The end result? An aligned smile with a stable bite.
For this patient the treatment has meant an improvement not only physically but also functionally, avoiding possible complications to his oral health that would have appeared over the years.
What does orthognathic surgery involve?
Although at Clínica Peydro we usually solve any problem with clear aligners alone, in this patient’s case we did have to carry out orthognathic surgery because of the facial deformities he had.
Facial changes of this kind generally appear during the patient’s growth phase and it is advisable to tackle them as soon as possible, since they can cause temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or lead to sleep apnea.
Before the surgery, the patient underwent pre-operative orthodontic treatment to remove any existing dental compensation and achieve a stable structure between the upper and lower arch. Finally, thanks to the orthodontic treatment, the right final bite was established for the patient.
At Clínica Peydro we carry out clear aligner treatment and orthognathic surgery with a minimally invasive approach.
