How Does SFOT Work?

When remodeling a house, you wouldn’t move walls without ensuring the foundation is strong, right? The same goes for your smile! That’s where Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy (SFOT) comes in.

SFOT strengthens your bone and gum foundation, making orthodontic treatment—whether braces or clear aligners—faster, safer, and more effective. Think of it as reinforcing your foundation before remodeling!

How does SFOT work?

  • Strengthens bone & gum tissue for optimal tooth movement
  • Works seamlessly with your orthodontic treatment
  • Helps you achieve a beautiful, long-lasting smile—faster!

With SFOT, we team up with your orthodontist or dentist to set the stage for success. Ready to build the perfect foundation for your dream smile? Schedule a consultation today!
