Orthognathic surgery involves the surgical correction of significant abnormalities of the jaws that may affect facial structure, dental alignment, bite and oral function. These conditions can arise when the upper and lower jaws do not develop in an appropriate relationship to one another.

Assessment and treatment planning for orthognathic surgery are comprehensive and may involve clinical examination, dental assessment, imaging and coordination with orthodontic treatment. The aim of treatment is to address the underlying jaw relationship and improve appropriate function and facial balance.

Because orthognathic treatment is highly individualised, the proposed surgical approach depends on the patient's anatomy, functional concerns and treatment objectives. The process, expected outcomes, recovery and potential risks are discussed in detail before treatment.
