Surgical correction, combined with orthodontics, of upper or lower jaw positioning problems.
Treatment process
Joint planning
The orthodontist and surgeon jointly determine the target bite and facial profile using 3D tomography and facial analysis.
Presurgical orthodontics
A 12–18 month course of braces aligns the teeth for the new jaw position.
Surgery
Under general anaesthesia, the jaw is repositioned through intraoral incisions and fixed with plates and screws — no visible scars.
Post-surgical orthodontics
Fine-tuning is completed within 6–12 months, and a retainer preserves the result.
Frequently asked questions
The change is exactly as planned — a digital simulation shows you the profile change beforehand.
No, not with modern techniques. Plate-and-screw fixation lets you use your mouth in a controlled way from day one.
Swelling reduces noticeably in 2–3 weeks. Return to social life is about 2 weeks; bone healing takes 3 months.
In mild cases, yes. For significant skeletal discrepancies, orthodontics alone only tilts the teeth for a temporary look and does not solve the underlying problem.
