Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is a highly effective procedure designed to correct dental and skeletal discrepancies in the jaw and face that cannot be addressed by braces alone. This advanced surgery improves both functional and aesthetic aspects of your smile, making it an essential component of cosmetic treatment for those with severe jaw misalignment.
While braces are an integral part of this treatment, their role is to align the teeth before and after surgery to ensure a harmonious bite and visually pleasing results. The orthodontic phase often begins a year or more before the surgery, with orthodontists carefully aligning the teeth to ensure they fit properly once the jaws are repositioned.
During the initial phase of Orthognathic Surgery, a thorough examination is conducted, including X-rays, photographs, and digital impressions. These steps help in crafting a tailored treatment plan that ensures the best possible outcome. Braces, with brackets and wires, are then applied to guide the movement of teeth over several months, setting the foundation for successful surgery.
The main purpose of braces in Orthognathic Surgery is to achieve a stable bite, essential for jaw repositioning and long-term dental health. The process involves decompensating the teeth to align them correctly within each jaw independently. Although this may temporarily worsen the bite, it ensures the jaws are positioned properly during surgery. Once the surgery is complete, the jaws are stabilized using plates and screws, while the braces hold the teeth in their new position.
Post-surgery, the focus shifts to refining the teeth alignment, with patients continuing to wear braces for several months or up to a year. Regular follow-up visits to the orthodontist are necessary to adjust the braces and ensure optimal results.
For those seeking an alternative to traditional braces, aligners offer a more discreet solution. Custom-made and clear, these removable trays gradually move teeth and can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing. However, aligners are not suitable for addressing significant jaw discrepancies, which is where Orthognathic Surgery plays a crucial role, particularly in enhancing facial symmetry as part of cosmetic treatment.

Orthognathic Surgery and Cosmetic Treatment Collaboration
Many patients consider orthognathic surgery not only for functional improvements—such as enhancing bite alignment and chewing efficiency—but also for cosmetic treatment to achieve a more balanced facial appearance. Misaligned jaws can lead to aesthetic concerns, including asymmetrical facial features, a protruding jaw, or a receding chin. By properly aligning the teeth and jaws, orthognathic surgery can dramatically improve facial profiles and boost self-confidence.
The success of orthognathic surgery depends on a well-coordinated approach between the orthodontist and oral surgeon. Orthodontists play a critical role in preparing the teeth for surgery, ensuring they are in the optimal position for precise surgical intervention. Oral surgeons then reposition the jaws with accuracy, relying on this pre-surgical alignment for the best functional and aesthetic outcomes. Post-surgery, orthodontists refine the final tooth positioning to ensure long-term stability and success.
This seamless collaboration between orthodontists and oral surgeons is essential for achieving optimal facial harmony, functional bite correction, and enhanced aesthetics. Whether for medical necessity or cosmetic enhancement, a well-planned orthognathic surgery can be life-changing for patients.
Challenges and Advancements in Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is a long-term commitment, often taking years from start to finish. While this requires patience, the transformative results—improved dental function and enhanced facial aesthetics—make the journey worthwhile.
Advancements in orthodontic technology have made treatment more comfortable and discreet. Modern options like ceramic braces and clear aligners offer aesthetically pleasing alternatives to traditional metal braces, making the process more appealing for patients of all ages.
Education and psychological support play key roles in treatment success. Understanding the process helps patients stay committed, while support from orthodontists, oral surgeons, and loved ones eases concerns. Despite the temporary challenges, the promise of a balanced facial profile and better dental health serves as strong motivation.
Beyond aesthetics, orthognathic surgery can improve overall health by addressing conditions like sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, and chronic headaches. Proper jaw alignment enhances both function and quality of life, making it a life-changing procedure for many.

Process of Orthognathic Surgery
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.
Recovery Process After Orthognathic Surgery
Recovery varies by individual, but the initial phase lasts about six weeks. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, managed with prescribed pain medication.
A soft or liquid diet is recommended to avoid strain on the jaw.
Oral hygiene is crucial to prevent infection, following the surgeon’s care instructions.
Physical activity should be limited to avoid impact on the jaw. Gradual return to normal routines is advised as healing progresses.
With proper care and adherence to post-operative guidelines, patients can achieve a fully functional and aesthetically improved jaw alignment.
Risks and Complications
While orthognathic surgery is generally safe, potential risks include:
- Infection or bleeding
- Temporary or permanent numbness due to nerve sensitivity
- Relapse of jaw positioning or bite alignment issues
With advanced surgical techniques and precise pre-operative planning, these risks are minimized. Patients are encouraged to discuss concerns with their surgical team and diligently follow post-op care for the best results.
