Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Surgery) Program

Overview

The Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Surgery) Program is comprised of a team of specialists dedicated to the treatment of adults and children with jaw conditions, which can range from mild to complex.

Jaw surgery or Orthognathic Surgery is performed to correct an improper bite and misaligned jaws, due to differences in growth rates between the maxilla and the mandible, facial traumas and congenital craniofacial anomalies. Jaw surgery may be a corrective option if the malocclusion can't be corrected with orthodontic treatment alone. In most cases, you also have braces on your teeth before surgery, during recovery and after surgery until healing and alignment are complete. Typically during the procedure, the bone is cut, modified and realigned to correct the deformity.

Today's orthognathic surgical treatment for dentofacial deformity consists of simultaneous cosmetic procedures to improve hard and soft tissue contours. These procedures include osseous versus alloplastic genioplasty, septorhinoplasty, cheek implants, liposuction of the neck, lipofilling of the lip and other areas of concern to improve the cosmetic appearance of the patient.

Before and After Photos

17-year old with severe maxillary hypoplasia underwent Le Fort 1 osteotomy with 9 mm advancement and 2 mm impaction of the maxilla. She is 4 months post-surgery with improvement of her frontal and lateral profile.

This is a 20-year old female with severe facial asymmetry who underwent Le Fort 1 advancement, correction of the cant deformity, bilateral sagittal splint osteotomy of the mandible with counter-clockwise rotation of the occlusal plane, genioplasty, right malar implant and septorhinoplasty. At 15 month follow-up, there is improved symmetry of the face and improved facial profile.

17 year-old with severe mandibular asymmetry and anterior open bite underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible to correct the malocclusion. At 11 months follow-up there is class 1 dental occlusion, improved symmetry of the mandible and smile.

19-year old male with a left unilateral cleft lip and palate underwent a Le Fort 1 osteotomy with 10 mm advancement and septorhinoplasty with costal cartilage graft. At 2 years post-surgery, facial balance is much improved on frontal and lateral profiles.
