Orthognathic surgery is typically performed by an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon (OMFS) in collaboration with an orthodontist.

Aesthetic Concerns

Imbalanced facial proportions
Receded chin or overly prominent jaw
Long face or short lower facial height
Asymmetry (one side of the jaw larger or higher)

Procedure:
The surgeon cuts the maxilla above the teeth, allowing it to move as a single piece. It may be:

Advanced (moved forward)

Set back
Lifted up (impaction)
Dropped down
Rotated

Plates and screws secure it in the new position.

The Surgery
