Orthognathic surgery: If you are having orthognathic (jaw) surgery, you will likely need orthodontia both before and after the surgery. An orthodontist and oral surgeon are the professionals to consult about this process.

Quite often: The bite (occlusion) after surgery needs to be aligned correctly to avoid long term issues. The teeth, facial muscles and the jaw joints form a triad that should be balanced. Seek out more info and get additional opinions prior to committing to surgery.

.before and after: Almost always best rx is 1st straighten top teeth to top jaw, bottom teeth to bottom jaw. Then move jaws into optimum positions. Then usually about 6 months additional orthodontic treatment required to achieve ideal occlusion. Please have orthodontic evaluation as well as oral surgical evaluation.

Usually, but: Usually, but less often when done for sleep apnea, which seems to be your situation. Oral surgeon will guide you in this respect.
