The Surgical Journey: Our Clinical Protocol

A meticulous, step-by-step approach to ensure optimal outcomes and patient comfort throughout the surgical process.

1

Pre-Surgical Planning

Our protocol begins with comprehensive 3D Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP). Using advanced imaging, our surgeons map out the precise surgical approach on a digital model of your skull before stepping into the operating room. This is accompanied by a detailed patient orientation session to ensure you are fully prepared and informed.

Pre & Post-Surgical Orthodontics

Pre-Surgical Alignment

Orthodontic treatment to align the teeth over the underlying bone in preparation for surgical repositioning. This typically involves leveling the arches, coordinating tooth widths, and eliminating crowding or spacing to ensure the surgical segments fit together precisely.

Duration: 12–18 months on average
Post-Surgical Detailing

Fine-tuning the bite after the jaws have healed in their new, correct positions. This phase ensures intercuspal seating—the perfect contact between upper and lower teeth—with ideal overbite and overjet relationships.

Duration: 6–12 months depending on complexity
Arch Coordination

Ensuring the upper and lower dental arches are properly aligned in width and form. This prevents crossbite tendencies post-surgery and ensures smooth chewing function.
Debonding & Retention

Once alignment is finalized, braces are removed and retainers are fitted to maintain the new bite. Custom Hawley or clear retainers help preserve stability as the bone continues to remodel.

Surgical Interventions

Maxillary Osteotomy (Upper Jaw)

Correction of crossbites, open bites, or upper jaws that recede or protrude significantly.
Mandibular Osteotomy (Lower Jaw)

Surgical repositioning of the lower jaw to correct receding or protruding jawlines.
Bimaxillary Surgery

Simultaneous correction of both the upper and lower jaws for complex functional and aesthetic issues.
Genioplasty (Chin Surgery)

Reshaping or repositioning the chin, often performed in conjunction with other jaw surgeries to enhance facial balance.
SARPE

Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion to correct severe transverse maxillary deficiency.

Comprehensive Recovery Timeline

What to expect during your healing journey following orthognathic surgical intervention.

Days 1-7

Initial Healing

Focus on rest, managing inflammation, and strictly adhering to a non-chew liquid diet. Swelling is expected to peak around day 3.

Liquid diet strictly enforced
Prescription pain management
Ice therapy for swelling

Weeks 2-6

Functional Return

Gradual transition to a soft "no-chew" diet. Continued swelling reduction and monitoring of bone healing.

Transition to soft foods (pasta, scrambled eggs)
Gentle jaw exercises if prescribed
Return to light activities

3 Months+

Long-term Success

Significant improvement in jaw function. Patients can typically return to a normal diet, though extremely hard or chewy foods should still be approached with caution initially.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common concerns about jaw surgery and recovery.

Will I experience a lot of pain after surgery? expand_more

Most patients report more discomfort from swelling and nasal congestion than actual pain. Pain is well-managed with prescribed medications during the initial recovery period.

How long is the hospital stay? expand_more

Typically, patients stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 nights following orthognathic surgery for monitoring and to ensure comfort before returning home.

How long will my jaw be wired shut? expand_more

With modern rigid fixation techniques (using small titanium plates and screws), jaws are rarely wired shut anymore. Instead, light elastic bands may be used to guide your bite into its new position.

What can I eat during recovery? expand_more

You will be on a strict liquid or pureed diet for the first few weeks, gradually transitioning to a soft "no-chew" diet as healing progresses over the next 4-6 weeks.

Is jaw surgery covered by insurance? expand_more

Coverage varies widely. When performed to correct significant functional deficits (like chewing difficulty or sleep apnea), it is often covered. We will assist you in verifying your benefits before treatment.
