Not everyone needs surgery, but if you do, we’ll guide you through the process and coordinate care with a trusted maxillofacial surgeon.
Combining surgery with orthodontics provides lasting results by addressing the root cause of jaw size discrepancies.
Orthognathic surgery aligns the jaws, making it easier to chew, speak, and breathe comfortably—enhancing both daily function and long-term oral health.
Surgical treatment improves facial symmetry by aligning the jaws, helping patients feel more confident in their appearance and overall facial harmony.
Your orthodontist and oral surgeon evaluate your bite, take X-rays and scans, and create a personalized treatment and surgical plan.
Before surgery, braces or aligners are used to properly position your teeth so they will fit together correctly after your jaw is repositioned.
Under general anesthesia, your jaw is precisely repositioned to improve function, alignment, and facial balance—all in a hospital setting.
After your surgery, you'll take 2 weeks off for healing, with full recovery over a few months. We'll guide you with care and support.
Once healed, your orthodontist fine-tunes your bite and alignment to ensure a stable, long-term result you can feel confident about.
You’ll be under general anesthesia during surgery, so you won’t feel anything. Some discomfort afterward is normal, but it’s manageable with medication.
We’ll only recommend surgery if we feel it’s absolutely necessary. Not everyone needs surgery, but if it’s recommended, it’s usually because your bite cannot be corrected with orthodontic treatment alone.
Nope! In most cases, all incisions are made inside the mouth, so there are no visible scars—just a more balanced, functional smile.
