Jaw surgery, known medically as orthognathic surgery, is a procedure that repositions one or both jaw bones to correct problems with how the upper and lower jaws fit together. It is recommended when the skeletal mismatch between the jaws is too large to be corrected by braces or aligners alone — common reasons include severe underbite, overbite, open bite, crossbite, facial asymmetry, and obstructive sleep apnoea related to jaw position. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon; incisions are made entirely inside the mouth so there are no visible facial scars. The jaw bone is precisely repositioned and held in its new position with small titanium plates and screws. Jaw surgery is part of a longer treatment journey that typically includes orthodontic braces before the operation and a further phase of fine-tuning afterwards; most patients are eating soft foods and returning to desk work within three to four weeks.
Surgery on one jaw only — either the upper jaw (Le Fort I osteotomy) or the lower jaw (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy) — to correct the bite or facial balance.
