Orthognathic surgery (corrective jaw surgery) is a specialized surgical procedure performed to correct skeletal irregularities of the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both, when these deformities cannot be resolved with orthodontic treatment alone. It restores proper jaw alignment, improves bite function, enhances facial aesthetics, and resolves health issues associated with jaw mismatch.

The procedure is recommended when jaw bones grow unevenly or fail to align properly, causing:

Functional Problems

Difficulty biting, chewing, and swallowing
Open bite or crossbite
Protruding or retruded jaws
Chronic jaw/facial pain due to malocclusion
Excessive tooth wear
Difficulty breathing (sleep apnea)
Speech impairments

Types of Orthognathic Surgery

Depending on the deformity, one or more jaw segments may be repositioned.

1. Maxillary Osteotomy (Upper Jaw Surgery)

Used for:

Crossbite
Open bite
Long face

Short or retruded midface

The Orthognathic Treatment Timeline
1. Pre-Surgical Orthodontics (12–18 months)

Braces align teeth so jaws can fit together after surgery.
Crowding, rotations, and compensations are corrected to reveal the true skeletal discrepancy.
