What is orthognathic surgery?

Jaw surgery: In certain conditions, orthodontic treatment alone is inadequate to fix jaw position type problem that can occur in either upper or lower jaw. Orthognathic surgery is the surgery that physically places the jaw(s) in the corrected positions.

Orthognathic Surgery: Orthognathic surgery is a procedure that realigns your upper and lower jaws into an ideal configuration. It is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in a hospital setting. Braces are usually part of the treatment, and will act to place the teeth in their ideal positions in preparation for the orthognathic surgery. Please consult with your local oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Corrective jaw: The surgery is performed by an oral surgeon to correct a wide range of minor and major skeletal and dental irregularities, including the misalignment of the jaws and teeth. The surgery also improves the function and the appearance.
