Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy or SFOT

Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy is a surgical technique which can speed up your orthodontic treatment.

Your orthodontist and oral surgeon will help you determine if you are a candidate for SFOT.

The procedure is usually completed under local anesthesia or IV sedation. It is a minimally invasive procedure which accelerates tooth movement thereby reducing the total amount of time you will require for your orthodontic treatment.

With this procedure, it will take less than half the amount of time to finish your orthodontic treatment and for some patients, this can mean years! You will need little to no downtime following the surgery.
