The Steps of Orthognathic Surgery
The Steps of Orthognathic Surgery
01. Complimentary Consultation
During the first consultation, you will explain your symptoms to our orthodontists and orthognathic surgeons. They will take photographs, impressions, X-rays and CT scan images of your mouth and teeth to create models and plan the surgery.
02. Orthodontic Preparation Phase
Before the jaw surgery, it is usually necessary to realign and level your teeth. The orthodontists set up a dental appliance to properly realign the teeth of each jaw.
The duration of the preparation phase varies from approximately 6 to 18 months.
03. Jaw/Orthognathic Surgery
After an initial thorough examination conducted by Dr. Philippe Chanavaz, our expert oral and maxillofacial surgeons perform the surgery. Jaw surgery is conducted under general anaesthesia and typically lasts 1 to 3 hours. Patients should plan for 2 to 3 days of hospitalization. During the procedure, the upper and/or lower jaws are repositioned relative to one another.
04. Orthodontic Finishing Phase
Our specialist orthodontists manage the finishing phase of your treatment. Typically, six weeks after surgery, once you have recovered, we place braces to realign your teeth properly. This post-surgery orthodontic treatment usually lasts around six months. The dental appliance is essential to achieve the most optimal dental occlusion possible.

Under orthognathic surgery or corrective jaw surgery, the majority of the incisions are hidden inside the mouth. No scars will be visible outside. Apart from this, the oral mucosa or gum tissue inside your mouth has great healing capacity, and the scarring inside the mouth is also minimal. Usually, for these scars to go away, it will take between 9 and 12 months.

Your proposed surgery will be done using sophisticated dental technologies that allow the surgeon to see the millimetres and degrees of movements that need to be made in all the dimensions of your jaw to bring your teeth to expected results, proper bite, or to achieve symmetry of the face. You will also get plaster models made of your teeth and photos that you can refer to.

The recovery and follow-up stages depend on the type of surgery you get done and whether or not other procedures were combined. The recovery phase generally comes with certain diet and physical activity restrictions. Usually, you will have to meet your jaw surgeon for the first follow-up ten days after the surgery. The number of follow-ups will vary based on your progress.

In orthognathic surgery, the jaws are correctly positioned through bone plates and screws specially designed to keep your jaw in optimal shape to deliver the expected results. Depending on your condition, you may also have the jaws held together using wire or orthodontic rubber bands during the early healing process so no movements disturb the new position.
