Usually: Typically orthodontics are required after jaw surgery.

Orthognathic: Surgery (non trauma related) is often done in combination as a surgical -orthodontic case -- the surgery to correct the skeletal component and the orthodontics to realign the dentition. Hope this helps.

Not unusual: Corrective jaw surgery is usually combined with corrective Orthodontic treatment to give you the best overall result.
