The AOS Evaluation

Understand the whole picture.
Our evaluation process is designed to look beyond a single symptom or procedure. We bring together airway, sleep, facial structure, bite, nasal breathing, imaging and clinical findings to help determine the appropriate path forward.

Evaluation. Planning. Comprehensive Care.
Depending on the individual patient, evaluation and treatment may involve sleep testing, imaging, orthodontics, expansion, extractions, custom jaw surgery, rhinoseptoplasty and coordinated care across multiple disciplines.
Plan
Imaging, clinical findings and the appropriate specialists are brought together to develop an individualized plan.
Treat
When treatment is appropriate, care is coordinated around the patient's anatomy, needs and treatment pathway.

For Doctors
Refer a Patient to AOS
We work with referring providers to coordinate evaluation, treatment planning and appropriate surgical care.

Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)
Jaw surgery addresses the position and relationship of the upper and lower jaws. At AOS, planning considers the bite, facial structure, airway, and the patient’s goals together.
Explore →MARPE & Skeletal Expansion
AOS evaluates narrow upper jaws with a coordinated orthodontic and surgical perspective. MARPE uses an expander supported by small temporary anchorage screws to address selected transverse deficiencies.
Explore →Rhinoplasty & Nasal Evaluation
Rhinoplasty planning considers nasal appearance, facial proportions, and breathing concerns. AOS evaluates the nose in the context of the face and any planned jaw treatment.

Wisdom teeth, implants, grafting, and oral pathology.
