Jaw Surgery Coordination Available in Kissimmee, FL

Shannon Orthodontics Coordinates Orthognathic Surgery for Kissimmee and Davenport Patients

Kissimmee, United States - October 23, 2026 / Shannon Orthodontics /

Shannon Orthodontics, the Kissimmee-based orthodontic practice led by Dr. Chris Shannon and Dr. Tyrel Larsen, coordinates orthognathic care with oral surgeons for patients in Kissimmee, Celebration, and Davenport who require orthognathic surgery to address skeletal bite problems that cannot be resolved through orthodontic treatment alone. The practice works directly alongside oral surgeons to manage the full treatment sequence, from pre-surgical tooth positioning through post-surgical alignment.

Addressing Bite Problems That Go Beyond the Teeth

Some patients present with jaw discrepancies rooted in skeletal structure rather than tooth position. In these cases, conventional orthodontic appliances can improve the alignment of the teeth but cannot reposition the jawbones themselves. Orthognathic surgery in Kissimmee, FL fills that gap by combining the work of an orthodontist and an oral surgeon within a single coordinated plan.

According to the practice, the conditions that typically point toward surgical intervention include difficulty chewing, speech irregularities, breathing complications, and chronic jaw pain. These are functional concerns that affect daily life, and braces or aligners on their own are not designed to correct the underlying skeletal cause.

The process generally involves two distinct orthodontic phases. Before surgery, braces are used to move the teeth into positions that will align correctly once the jawbones are repositioned. After the oral surgeon completes the jaw correction, orthodontic treatment continues to fine-tune the bite and ensure lasting alignment. Jaw surgery in Kissimmee, FL is therefore a team effort, and Shannon Orthodontics manages the orthodontic side of the plan with the surgical team throughout the process.

3D Imaging Guides the Surgical Plan

Shannon Orthodontics uses 3D imaging technology to support the planning stage of orthognathic treatment. The imaging allows Dr. Shannon and Dr. Larsen to map the current position of the teeth and jaws in three dimensions, which helps the coordinating oral surgeon understand the movements required during the procedure. This level of detail in the planning phase is particularly relevant for cases involving significant jaw discrepancies, where precise measurements inform both the orthodontic setup and the surgical execution.

The practice notes that orthognathic surgery is most commonly appropriate for older teenagers and adults, specifically individuals whose jaw growth is complete. Attempting surgical correction before skeletal development is finished can compromise the outcome, which is why age and growth status are assessed as part of the initial evaluation.

Care Designed for Kissimmee, Celebration, and Davenport Residents

Shannon Orthodontics serves patients from across the Kissimmee, Celebration, and Davenport communities, including adults. Braces for adults in Kissimmee, FL are a central component of the orthognathic process, as adult patients undergoing jaw correction require orthodontic preparation and follow-up just as younger patients do.

Dr. Tyrel Larsen also participates in the practice's treatment planning, and both doctors are involved in managing cases that move through the surgical pathway. Patients interested in learning whether orthognathic surgery may be appropriate for their situation can contact Shannon Orthodontics directly at (863) 353-6867 to schedule a consultation.
