You are in good hands when you choose Orthobar for your pre- and post- surgical orthodontic treatments.

Dr. Petersen and Dr. Grahl do surgical orthodontics treatment in two phases: pre-surgical and post-surgical orthodontics. In the pre-surgical phase, the teeth are positioned in their proper alignment for surgical facial and bite correction. Then, the surgical phase is completed by our trusted colleagues in oral surgery. Lastly, in the post-surgical phase, after you have healed from the surgery, we will finalize and adjust your bite and smile to complete your treatment in the Orthobar Way.

In-Office Surgical Procedures

Some surgical orthodontics procedures we offer in the office include laser gingivectomy to level the gingival (gum) heights, temporary anchorage devices (TADS) used for anchorage in complex orthodontic movements, and Mini-screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE).

02

Laser Gingivectomy

We use advanced surgical lasers to perform gingivectomies that adjust your gum heights to treat gummy smiles and tooth asymmetries. These dental-specific lasers give you precise results with minimal discomfort.

Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADS)

Installing a temporary anchorage device enables us to add a new anchoring point to the jaw, facilitating more predictable and complex tooth movement. We use these screw-like implants in place of more invasive treatments like headgear and remove them after treatment/movements are complete.

04

Mini-screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE)

MARPE enhances your dental arch without major palatal surgery and is effective in teens and adults with fully developed palates. These temporary implants in the roof of the mouth use gentle pressure to correct skeletal expansion and make space to correct overcrowding.

Testimonial by Taylor M.

Being brand new to the Vegas area it’s always hard to find your new spots especially when it comes to personal care. For someone who has been scared of going to the dentist/orthodontist I have to say, I was very impressed with Orthobar! For one, this place is beautiful! The details didn’t get overlooked. Cyndie at the front welcomed me with a smile and Asia was very pleasant and made sure I was comfortable before I saw the doctor. I cannot recommend this place enough.
