What is Orthognathic surgery?

When the upper and lower jaws do not align correctly, this can interfere with chewing, breathing, or facial aesthetics, even when orthodontics alone is not sufficient to correct it. The surgeon repositions the bone of the affected jaw, often in coordination with orthodontic treatment before and after the operation. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and requires a few days of hospitalization.

The result improves both chewing function and facial harmony, with orthodontic follow-up that accompanies the entire process.

When is Orthognathic surgery used?

For a significant misalignment between the upper and lower jaw affecting bite, chewing, breathing, or facial balance, usually alongside orthodontic treatment.
