Corrective jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, is a group of procedures performed to correct dentofacial irregularities, most commonly manifested as misalignments of the jaws. These deformities not only cause malocclusion or bad bite, but also create problems in the temporomandibular joint - the TMJ- and the airway, resulting in difficulties chewing, swallowing, speaking and breathing. While the surgery is performed to correct functional problems, patient's appearance may be dramatically improved as a result.
Open bite is a condition where the upper and lower front teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed or at rest. An open bite can lead to a number of oral health conditions including tooth wear, tooth breakage and TMJ disorders. It may also cause speech problems known as ‘lisping’ in some individuals. Open bite surgery involves removing some of the bone of the upper jaw to move it to a new position. Once the jaws are aligned, plates and screws are used to secure the bones in place.
Protruding lower jaw is corrected in a procedure called mandibular setback surgery. The tooth-bearing portion of the lower jaw is separated from its base and moved backward for proper alignment.
In a similar way, receding lower jaw, or “weak chin”, is corrected with mandibular ADVANCEMENT surgery. In this case, the tooth-bearing portion of the lower jaw is repositioned FORWARD.
Orthognathic surgeries are commonly performed in combination with orthodontic treatments and may take several years to complete.
Tony Anthony Iron Man : I had this surgery done 19 years ago due to a massive underbyte. The worst part about it was recovery and getting used to a new appearance. Eventhoug my surgery thank god went good, i have to get used to my new appearance, new expressions, smile and also get used to the implants. Your appearance will change for the better. Soo make sure to take lots of pictures, videos of your current appearance before the surgery. Its been 19 years aince i had mines done and thank God im Fine.
e.cranee : For anyone scared about the surgery:

I just had this surgery (to correct my 10mm overbite) last week Wednesday and they put you to sleep and trust me when I say you can’t feel a thing. You’re very swollen afterwards and drugged up when you’re in the hospital but they make it so the pain is bearable. I am still swollen now and in pain but it’s worth it in the long run.
Val Salas : i just got this surgery and i’m not even a week into recovery. wish me luck y’all ✊
Dean Fochios : I just had surgery to bring my top jaw forward cause I had an underbite. yes I was wired shut and had to eat liquids for a week straight but I have no regrets doing this surgery. my bottom jaw was 11mm off of where it should have been and they also had to slit my top jaw to widen it. during the same surgery I had my septum corrected and fixed cause I couldn't breathe out of my nose. if there is one thing Im grateful for it would be that I had an amazing surgeon and I recovered faster than they thought I would. as of right now im fully healed and loving every bit of my smile. if you have any questions or concerns regarding this surgery I just went through it so hit me up with questions!
Camppidame : I got this surgery 2 months ago...I can’t tell you how glad I am that I have gotten it!!! I had a receded jaw and an open bite, and only my back molars touched. My bite is absolutely incredible and I can finally touch my front teeth!
