What is Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy?

Surgically facilitated orthodontic therapy (SFOT) occurs when bone cuts made through the outer bone layer and removal of a portion of the surface bone is used to stimulate the regional healing process, increase bone remodeling, and encourage tooth shifting as part of orthodontic treatment. This therapy can drastically reduce treatment time for orthodontics. For the best possible outcome, SFOT should only be performed by highly trained and experienced professionals.

Benefits of SFOT

• Enables ideal tooth location for optimal occlusion
• Heightens esthetics through optimizing dental relationships and arch forms
• Implant site development/planning through augmentation and tooth movement
• Maximizes orthodontic potentialities
• Permits ideal tooth position for restorative dentistry

This therapy can be combined with traditional orthodontic treatment and other alternative methods like Invisalign. Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that requires clear, removable aligners to gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment. With SFOT, patients can complete their orthodontic is a shorter amount of time as well as receive effective, long-lasting results.
