Patient Eligibility

Who Is a Suitable Candidate

Orthognathic surgery is recommended for patients with jaw discrepancies that cannot be resolved through orthodontics alone. Braces and aligners can move teeth, but they cannot reposition the jawbones. When bite correction requires skeletal movement to achieve stability and function, surgery becomes the appropriate solution.

This treatment is typically advised once jaw growth is complete, usually from late adolescence onward. Adult patients of all ages can undergo surgery when their overall health supports safe healing.

Benefits of Orthognathic Surgery

Functional and Aesthetic Improvements

Orthognathic surgery delivers lasting improvements that go beyond appearance. By realigning jaw alignment at its foundation, it restores comfort, function, and facial balance.

01. Improved bite and chewing efficiency

Jaw repositioning allows the teeth to meet properly, addressing conditions such as open bite, deep bite, or severe overbite, while making chewing easier and reducing uneven tooth wear.

02. Better breathing and sleep quality

An improved jaw position can open the airway, supporting smoother breathing and reducing sleep-related issues.

03. Balanced facial profile

Aligning the jaws enhances facial harmony, creating natural proportions without an artificial look.

04. Reduced jaw pain and strain

Proper alignment relieves pressure on the jaw joints and muscles, helping ease tension, headaches, and TMJ discomfort.

05. Clearer speech and daily comfort

Improved jaw structure supports better tongue positioning, which can enhance speech clarity and ease of movement.

06. Long term oral health stability

A balanced bite protects teeth, gums, and jaw joints, lowering the risk of future dental complications.

How the Surgery Works

The Steps of Orthognathic Surgery

Step 01

Consultation

During the first consultation, we discuss your symptoms with our orthodontists and orthognathic surgeons. We take photographs, impressions, X-rays, and CT scan images of your mouth and teeth to create accurate models and plan the surgery.

Step 02

Orthodontic preparation phase

Before the jaw surgery, it is usually necessary to realign and level your teeth. Our 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.

Step 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.

Step 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 6 months. The dental appliance is essential to achieve the most optimal dental occlusion possible.

About Jaw Surgery

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my voice change after jaw surgery?

Yes, it can, in a good way. But this depends on the kind of condition for which you get your surgery. The tongue and the teeth are instrumental in pronunciation. When you reconstruct your jaw, it brings slight changes to the position of the tongue and teeth. This can result in vocal changes. You can experience more clarity in your voice and a change of vocal frequencies.

Can my voice change after jaw surgery?

Will any scars be visible after the surgery?

Under orthognathic 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.

Will any scars be visible after the surgery?

How does the surgeon know exactly where to reposition the jaws?

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.

What are the recovery and follow-up stages after orthognathic surgery?

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.

What are the recovery and follow-up stages after orthognathic surgery?

How does the jaw stay in its new, corrected position after the surgery?

In orthognathic surgery, the jaws are precisely 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.

Testimonials

Healthy Smiles, Happy Patients

Before surgery, my bite felt off and my jaw clicked constantly. Orthognathic surgery refined the alignment and eased the pressure. Simple actions like chewing and talking now feel smooth and natural.

Ronald Abboud

Dubai

What surprised me most was how daily habits changed after jaw surgery. I sleep better, chew evenly, and no longer feel tension in my jaw by the end of the day. Life feels more comfortable overall.

Mohamed Fazil

Dubai

I delayed treatment for years out of fear. Looking back, orthognathic surgery gave me stability and confidence I never had. My jaw works properly, and my face looks naturally balanced. I wish I had done it sooner.

Moisés Eduardo Lárez

Dubai

Jaw surgery helped with issues I did not expect, like clearer speech and fewer headaches. Recovery tested my patience, but each week brought noticeable improvement and real comfort. The progress kept me motivated throughout healing.

Chewing used to feel tiring and uneven. Orthognathic surgery improved my bite and removed constant jaw strain. Meals feel normal now, and the changes are very practical, not cosmetic.

Mark Gabiana

Dubai

I spent years hiding my smile and avoiding photos. After orthognathic surgery in Dubai, my jaw feels aligned, breathing feels easier, and I finally recognise my face in the mirror. Friends noticed the change before I mentioned it.
