Implants before double jaw surgery?

July 12, 2016
Asked By:dtd44 in 92057

I have congenitally-missing maxillary lateral incisors. I just completed my invisalign treatment in preparation for orthognathic surgery. I will be meeting with my surgeon in a month and will provide a mold to see if my teeth will fit together. My orthodontist says that my teeth are now perfect and there should be no problem with surgery. My problem is, I may have to wait a year or longer to get the surgery. Meanwhile, I will be missing my incisors. Is it possible to get implants before surgery?
