What is this treatment?
Jaw surgery is considered when jaw position affects bite, chewing, speech, comfort or facial balance. It is planned carefully with scans, dental records and often orthodontic coordination.
When to consider it
- Major bite mismatch
- Difficulty chewing due to jaw position
- Jaw asymmetry concerns
- Cases where braces alone may not be enough

Common questions
When is jaw surgery considered?
Jaw surgery may be considered for significant jaw imbalance, bite problems, facial asymmetry or functional concerns that cannot be corrected by dental treatment alone.
Is jaw surgery planned with orthodontics?
Many jaw surgery cases need orthodontic planning before and after surgery. The sequence depends on your bite and facial structure.
What should I expect during recovery?
Recovery involves swelling control, diet changes, follow-ups and time for bite settling. The doctor will explain the recovery plan before surgery.
