Orthognathic Jaw Surgery for Bite & Balance
If your upper and lower jaws do not meet properly, you may have difficulty biting or a jaw-position concern that tooth movement alone cannot resolve. Orthognathic surgery repositions the jaws as part of a planned course of care.
Dr. Chamria assesses the jaw relationship and coordinates with the relevant orthodontic team. Understand whether surgery is appropriate, the proposed functional and facial changes, risks, treatment stages and complete estimate before deciding.
Consultation fee: ₹1,500 one time.

Braces & Aligners
Braces and aligners move teeth. Orthognathic surgery changes jaw position when the diagnosis supports surgical correction. Assessment may be relevant for a significant jaw relationship problem, facial asymmetry or a bite concern that cannot be addressed by tooth movement alone.
Know the sequence
Examination, photographs, dental records and indicated imaging help assess the jaws and bite. The plan identifies whether orthodontic preparation is needed and which clinicians will be involved. Before orthognathic jaw surgery, we discuss the proposed correction, anaesthesia, treatment venue, case-specific risks and recovery. Surgical planning and any continuing orthodontic treatment are considered together.
Jaw surgery cost & recovery
Planning, pre-surgical orthodontics, surgery, recovery are separate milestones. This is not a one-day smile makeover. The written estimate identifies surgical fees, anaesthesia and facility arrangements, orthodontic care with inclusions and exclusions stated.

A coordinated plan
Understand each stage before proceeding
Orthognathic surgery and aligner treatment follow three key phases: pre-surgical, surgical, and post-surgical.
Pre-Surgical Phase:
Patients wear braces or aligners to gradually align their teeth in preparation for surgery. Regular dental visits ensure progress and necessary adjustments.
Surgical Phase:
Performed under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes precise cuts in the jawbones, repositions them, and secures them with plates, screws, or wires. The procedure can take several hours, depending on complexity.
Post-Surgical Phase:
Recovery involves swelling, discomfort, and limited jaw movement. Orthodontists provide new aligners or braces to maintain alignment and refine positioning.
Jaw surgery FAQs
Questions to bring to consultation
Is jaw surgery the same as TMJ treatment?
No. Orthognathic surgery changes jaw position; TMJ and jaw-muscle concerns have a separate assessment and treatment pathway.
Will I need braces before or after surgery?
Some plans include orthodontic treatment. The sequence depends on your bite and the goals of the plan.
How long is recovery?
Recovery varies with the procedure and individual health. Your team should provide case-specific guidance.
Does every uneven bite need surgery?
No. Some concerns can be managed through orthodontics or other care. Surgery requires a diagnosis that supports it.
Will I need braces as well?
Many plans involve orthodontic coordination. The proposed sequence is explained for your case. [R9]
Can jaw surgery be treated as a one-day smile makeover?
The surgery has its own preparation and recovery pathway. It should not be confused with a restorative change to the appearance of teeth.
