SFOT

(Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy)

SFOT  is a minor procedure that helps your teeth move faster and more safely with braces or aligners. Small, controlled adjustments are made to the bone around your teeth to reduce resistance, protect your gums, and improve treatment results. It’s especially helpful for adults or anyone with thinner bone or gum tissue.

Why Collaboration Matters in SFOT

SFOT works best when your periodontist and orthodontist work together. The periodontist ensures your gums and supporting bone are healthy and makes the precise bone adjustments needed, while the orthodontist carefully moves your teeth. This teamwork helps your teeth shift safely, protects your gums, and improves the overall results of your treatment.
