At One Orthodontics, located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, our Board-Certified orthodontists Dr. Mohammed Abdulateef and Dr. Besher Osman work closely with oral and maxillofacial surgeons to provide complex corrective treatment when traditional orthodontics alone is not enough. If you’ve been told your bite is too severe, your jaws don’t align properly, or you experience functional issues (chewing, speaking, breathing) stemming from skeletal irregularities, our surgical orthodontics services can help.
Surgical orthodontics—also known as orthognathic surgery—is a coordinated treatment plan that combines orthodontic care (braces or aligners) with surgical repositioning of the jaws to treat skeletal-based bite and alignment issues. It’s used when tooth movement alone cannot achieve optimal correction. During treatment, your teeth are aligned, your jaws repositioned by surgery, and then your bite refined.
This approach improves not only your smile but also your ability to chew, speak, breathe, and maintain a healthy facial balance.

Throughout the process, our team at One Orthodontics leverages advanced digital orthodontic technology such as CBCT (Cone Beam CT) imaging and 3D treatment planning software to ensure precise diagnosis and predictable results. Every surgical case is carefully coordinated to ensure your orthodontic and surgical stages work seamlessly together, minimizing downtime and optimizing recovery.
Post-surgery, we monitor healing and bite stability closely to make sure your results are long-lasting and comfortable. Many of our patients notice improved confidence, speech clarity, and facial balance within just a few months of recovery.
