Orthognathic surgery is used to correct orthodontic problems that have an underlying jaw discrepancy.

Orthognathic surgery in conjunction with orthodontic treatment aims to provide improved upper and lower teeth relationship, but more importantly improve the relationship of the upper and lower jaws. This results in a more balanced and harmonious facial profile, jaw functions and lip posture.

Orthognathic surgery is performed by Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons who are specialists in surgery related to the mouth, jaws and associated facial structures.
