What Is Jaw Surgery

Jaw Surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a corrective procedure that realigns the upper and lower jaws to improve function, facial balance, and overall oral health.

This treatment is recommended for patients with jaw misalignment, bite issues, facial asymmetry, or functional problems such as difficulty chewing, speaking, or breathing.

Jaw Surgery can significantly enhance both aesthetics and function by correcting skeletal irregularities that cannot be resolved with orthodontic treatment alone.

At Gangnam APLUS Dental Clinic in Seoul, we provide advanced Jaw Surgery planning and coordination, combining precise diagnostics and multidisciplinary care to achieve safe, balanced, and natural-looking results.

How Does Jaw Surgery Work

Jaw Surgery begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital imaging, 3D CT scans, bite analysis, and facial assessment.

A personalized treatment plan is developed, often in combination with orthodontic treatment before and after surgery to ensure proper alignment and stability.

During the procedure, the jawbones are carefully repositioned to correct alignment, bite function, and facial proportions.

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, and fixation techniques are used to stabilize the jaw during healing.

After recovery, the result is improved bite function, enhanced facial symmetry, and better overall oral health.

Advantages of Jaw Surgery

Jaw Surgery offers significant benefits for both functional and aesthetic improvement.

It corrects bite issues such as overbite, underbite, and open bite, improving chewing efficiency and speech clarity.

The procedure enhances facial balance and symmetry, contributing to a more harmonious appearance.

Jaw Surgery can also help alleviate jaw pain, TMJ-related issues, and breathing difficulties in certain cases.

With proper planning and follow-up care, the results are long-lasting and can greatly improve quality of life.

Who Is a Candidate for Jaw Surgery

Jaw Surgery may be recommended for patients who:

• Have significant jaw misalignment or facial asymmetry
• Experience difficulty chewing, speaking, or biting properly
• Have severe overbite, underbite, or open bite
• Cannot achieve desired results with orthodontics alone

A detailed consultation, imaging, and interdisciplinary evaluation are necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

The Jaw Surgery Process

Jaw Surgery involves several carefully planned steps.

Comprehensive Evaluation
Advanced imaging, bite analysis, and facial assessment are conducted to understand skeletal structure and alignment.

Personalized Treatment Planning
A coordinated plan is developed, often including orthodontic preparation before surgery.

Pre-Surgical Orthodontics
Braces or aligners may be used to position the teeth properly before surgical correction.

Surgical Jaw Correction
The jaw is repositioned under general anesthesia to achieve proper alignment and facial balance.

Post-Surgical Recovery and Adjustment
Healing is monitored, and orthodontic treatment may continue to finalize bite alignment and stability.
