Orthognathic surgery is the correction of facial deformities in the jaw. This procedure consists of placement and alignment of the maxillary jaw, the mandibular jaw and the chin in their proper relational positions, resulting in an aesthetic facial balance with the functional benefits of chewing and biting.
Another advantage of this procedure is that orthognathic surgery is performed inside the mouth, leaving no scars on the face.
99% of cases require prior orthodontic surgery.
Please be reminded that Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are the most appropriate specialists to perform orthognathic surgery.
