What is orthognathic surgery?

Orthognathic surgery is a specialised form of dental surgery that focuses on repositioning the jaws into proper alignment. It effectively corrects severe jaw misalignments, TMJ disorders, or malocclusions that cannot be addressed with orthodontic treatment alone.

In addition to improving function, orthognathic surgery helps achieve proper facial harmony. By repositioning the jaw, the surrounding soft tissues – including the nose, cheeks, and lips – adjust naturally, creating a more balanced and desirable facial aesthetic.

Who needs jaw surgery?

An ideal candidate for jaw surgery is someone who has greatly misaligned jaws, bite problems, or a facial imbalance due to the position of their jaws. Surgery may also be recommended for more complex cases where orthodontic treatment alone will not achieve desirable results.

How do orthodontics and jaw surgery work together?

Orthodontics will generally be the first step in treatment. Brace treatment will be performed for the first 12 months to properly align the teeth, after which surgery will be implemented if necessary.

The treatment duration with orthognathic surgery is approximately 18 months. By combining surgery and orthodontics, we are able to maximise your facial and dental aesthetics and ensure the best results for severe or complex cases.

Benefits of jaw surgery

Through a combination of orthodontic treatment and jaw surgery, patients can experience the following benefits:

  • Proper alignment of the jaw
  • Improved facial aesthetic
  • Better oral health and dental function
  • Enhanced chewing and biting
  • Additional space in the mouth, enabling future orthodontics to be more effective
