Orthognathic Surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is a procedure performed to realign the jaws and correct skeletal or jaw-related deformities. It is often combined with orthodontic treatment for full bite and facial correction.

This surgery improves both function and appearance, helping with chewing, speech, breathing, and facial symmetry. It is suitable for cases that cannot be treated with braces alone and offers long-term, stable results for improved oral health and confidence.

Orthognathic Surgery begins with detailed treatment planning involving orthodontists and oral surgeons. Digital panoramic and cephalometric X-rays, along with 3D CT scans, are used to evaluate jaw structure and create precise surgical plans. Impressions and study models are also taken to guide the process.

The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes 1 to 3 hours. It involves repositioning the jaws to their correct alignment. After surgery, patients stay at our affiliated clinic for recovery and monitoring. Once healed, post-surgical orthodontic treatment continues with braces or aligners to fine-tune bite alignment. Retainers are used afterward to maintain results.
