What is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery is a specialized procedure that repositions the jaws into their ideal anatomical position. The procedure is usually performed in collaboration with an orthodontist, who aligns the teeth before and after surgery for optimal functional and aesthetic results. By correcting jaw discrepancies, the surgery improves:
- Facial balance and symmetry
- Bite alignment (Occlusion)
- Chewing efficiency
- Speech
- Breathing
- Facial aesthetics
- Jaw joint function
Conditions Treated with Orthognathic Surgery
- Receding Lower Jaw (Retrognathia) - Improves facial profile and bite by advancing the lower jaw.
- Protruding Lower Jaw (Prognathism) - Corrects an excessively forward-positioned lower jaw for better facial balance.
- Upper Jaw Deficiency or Excess - Repositions the upper jaw to improve facial proportions and bite.
- Open Bite - Corrects the inability of the upper and lower teeth to meet properly.
- Crossbite - Improves jaw alignment and chewing function.
- Facial Asymmetry - Corrects uneven jaw growth and restores facial symmetry.
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (Selected Cases) - Jaw advancement surgery may help improve airway size in carefully selected patients.
- Difficulty in Chewing or Speaking - Improves oral function and overall quality of life.

Orthognathic Surgery Procedure
Orthognathic surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. Depending on the condition, surgery may involve Upper Jaw Surgery (Le Fort I Osteotomy), Lower Jaw Surgery (Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy – BSSO), or Double Jaw Surgery (Bimaxillary Surgery). Genioplasty (Chin Surgery) may also be performed when required for optimal facial balance.
The jaws are repositioned and stabilized using medical-grade titanium plates and screws, which are biocompatible and generally remain permanently unless removal is medically indicated.
The surgery typically takes 3–6 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Recovery After Orthognathic Surgery
Patients are usually admitted to the hospital for 1–3 days after surgery. Recovery includes mild to moderate facial swelling, temporary numbness in certain areas, and a soft or liquid diet for several weeks.
Most patients return to work or studies within 2–4 weeks, while complete bone healing generally occurs over 3–6 months. Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor progress.
