At our specialty periodontal offices in Washington, DC and Bethesda, Maryland, we work closely with orthodontists to offer SFOT (Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy)—a treatment that strengthens the bone and gum foundation to support faster, more stable orthodontic movement. We serve patients throughout the DC metro area, including Northern Virginia and Maryland.

This page features all of our blog posts about SFOT, covering everything from how the procedure works and when it’s recommended, to recovery timelines and patient case studies. Whether you’re an adult in clear aligners, a teen in braces, or a provider looking to better understand this technique, you’ll find expert-led guidance right here.
