Orthognathic surgery goes far beyond cosmetic enhancement; it is a profound functional reconstruction. It is required when a patient’s jaws do not align correctly, causing severe difficulty in chewing, speaking, breathing (Obstructive Sleep Apnea), and chronic TMJ pain. Braces alone cannot fix severe skeletal misalignments. India's top maxillofacial surgeons use 3D virtual surgical planning to cut and reposition the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) into perfect anatomical harmony. This procedure dramatically improves facial symmetry, completely transforms the patient's profile, and restores perfect dental function.

Procedure Details

Performed entirely inside the mouth under general anesthesia to ensure no visible facial scars. The maxillofacial surgeon makes incisions through the gums to access the jawbones. The bones are precisely cut (osteotomy), moved into their new, computer-planned positions, and permanently fixed into place using tiny titanium plates and screws. The gums are stitched closed with dissolvable sutures. This is typically done in conjunction with orthodontic treatment (braces) before and after surgery to perfectly align the teeth.
