Orthognathic surgery is corrective jaw surgery to treat and fix abnormalities of the facial bones, such as the jaws. Often an issue with the jawbones can cause difficulty chewing, talking, sleeping, breathing and other routine activities. Jaw surgery can be relatively minor or major requiring years of treatment. Commonly jaw surgery is used to correct an open bite, protruding lower jaw or receding lower jaw. Orthognathic surgery, together with orthodontic treatment, can correct problems and improve the overall appearance of the facial profile. For more severe problems double jaw surgery is performed on both the upper and lower jaw.
