Double Jaw Surgery (Correct Jaw Misalignment And Bite Issues)

· Those in Seoul looking for advanced facial harmony and functional correction.
· Those with facial asymmetry or uneven jawlines.
· Those with difficulty chewing, speaking, or breathing due to jaw position.
· Those who want to improve facial proportions.
· Those who wish to enhance both appearance and function at the same time.

Double Jaw Surgery is a corrective facial bone procedure designed to realign both the upper jaw, known as the maxilla, and the lower jaw, called the mandible. This procedure is commonly performed to correct structural or functional problems related to jaw positioning, such as underbites, overbites, or facial asymmetry. The doctor at our affiliated clinic carefully repositions the jawbones to improve the relationship between the upper and lower jaws, creating a balanced bite and a more harmonious facial structure.

In addition to improving facial appearance, Double Jaw Surgery provides significant functional benefits. The correction of jaw alignment enhances essential daily functions such as chewing, swallowing, and speaking. It can also address breathing difficulties that result from a narrow airway or jaw deformity. By repositioning the bones properly, the procedure promotes better overall oral health and helps reduce tension in the jaw muscles caused by misalignment. This procedure also can restore a natural resting position of the jaw and teeth, leading to more comfortable and efficient movement.

Beyond medical correction, Double Jaw Surgery is valued for its aesthetic advantages. The repositioning of both jaws refines facial contours, reduces protrusion or recession of the chin and jawline, and creates a more symmetrical and youthful appearance. This improved balance often enhances self-confidence and emotional well-being. The outcome of the procedure combines both function and beauty, which achieves a stable, well-aligned jaw structure that supports natural facial harmony and long-term comfort.

Double Jaw Surgery begins with a consultation by the doctor at the affiliated clinic, where a detailed facial and dental assessment is carried out. During this stage, diagnostic tools such as X-rays, 3D CT scans, and dental impressions are used to examine the structure of the upper and lower jaws. The doctor evaluates the alignment of the teeth, bite, and facial symmetry, then develops a personalized surgical plan.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure a painless and comfortable experience. The entire procedure usually takes about 5 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. During surgery, small incisions are made inside the mouth to access the jawbones without leaving visible scars. The upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible) are carefully separated and repositioned according to the pre-planned structure. Once the desired alignment is achieved, the bones are secured with titanium plates, screws, or osteotrans pins to maintain stability during healing. The doctor ensures that the bite is properly balanced and that facial proportions are harmonized, leading to both aesthetic improvement and functional correction.

After the procedure, the patient remains in the hospital for about 3 nights for close observation and pain management. Sutures are typically removed after 14 days, and 3 to 4 follow-up visits are required for recovery assessment. Most patients can resume light daily activities within 7 days, though swelling and mild tightness around the jaw may persist for 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery and bone stabilization generally occur within 6 to 12 weeks.
