Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery

Orthognathic surgery repositions one or both jaws to correct skeletal discrepancies that orthodontics alone cannot address. Performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMFS) under general anaesthetic, it is combined with 12-18 months of orthodontic treatment before and after the surgical procedure.
