Jaw Surgery: For a Healthier and Balanced Smile
Jaw surgery offers an ideal solution for individuals seeking improved oral health, facial balance, and long-term functional comfort. This advanced surgical treatment combines aesthetics with structural correction.
More Functional, More Aesthetic
As the demand for comprehensive dental and facial health solutions increases, treatments that restore both function and beauty are gaining attention. While orthodontics can address many alignment issues, jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) provides a permanent solution for skeletal problems, correcting both the bite and facial harmony.
What is Jaw Surgery?
Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a procedure that corrects irregularities in the jawbone. These irregularities may affect chewing, speaking, breathing, and facial symmetry. The surgery involves repositioning the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, ensuring that the teeth and jaws fit together properly.
Often recommended for severe malocclusion, open bite, or asymmetry cases, jaw surgery not only restores function but also enhances the patient’s overall facial aesthetics.
How is Jaw Surgery Performed?
The first step is a detailed dental and radiological examination. Orthodontic treatment is often combined with surgery to prepare the teeth for proper alignment.
Under general anesthesia, the surgeon carefully makes incisions inside the mouth, avoiding visible scars. Specialized techniques are used to move the jaw into the correct position. The bones are then fixed with small plates and screws to ensure stability during healing.
Natural Look Meets Functional Harmony
Jaw surgery doesn’t just improve chewing and speaking ability—it also brings facial proportions into balance. Patients often notice significant improvements in both appearance and confidence after recovery.
Who Can Have Jaw Surgery?
Jaw surgery is suitable for patients who:
- Have completed jaw and facial bone growth (typically over age 18–20).
- Suffer from severe bite problems not treatable with orthodontics alone.
- Experience functional issues such as difficulty chewing, chronic jaw pain, or sleep apnea related to jaw position.
How Long Do Results Last?
The results of jaw surgery are permanent, provided the patient maintains good oral health and follows orthodontic recommendations. Healing typically takes several months, and full results become visible once swelling subsides and orthodontic treatment is finalized.
