Esthetic Periodontics

SURGICALLY FACILITATED ORTHODONTIC THERAPY (WILCKODONTICS)

While we don’t place braces at PerioArts, we do work closely our orthodontists colleagues to improve the outcomes, speed up the movement process and prevent complications along the way.
The biggest limiting factor in orthodontic therapy is the cortical plate of the alveolar ridge that holds the teeth. After teeth erupt, the cortical plates establish the boundaries of our teeth movement, To compensate the obstacle, we often need to extract some teeth or risk to achieve unsatisfactory esthetic results or damage to involved teeth or bone.
S.F.O.T. is designed to overcome these issues:

  • Regenerate new bone enabling teeth to fit “new” improved space.
  • Enables ideal tooth or implant position.
  • Combination of Soft/Hard tissue surgeries at one time.
  • Correcting osseous defects.
  • Significantly reduces treatment time.
Please discuss these treatment options with your Orthodontist before scheduling consultation with us. If you think you are a good candidate for this procedure and would like additional information, please contact us to schedule a consultation appointment.
