Orthognathic Surgery or Corrective Jaw Surgery (Greek “orthos” means straight and “gnathos” means jaw)
involves an operation to one or both
of the jaws to alter their position shape. It is usually performed to correct
a major discrepancy of the size or
position of the jaws in non-growing
individuals. Orthognathic Surgery
will improve facial appearance and
smile aesthetics as well as improve
a person’s ability to chew and bite food properly.
