Orthognathic Surgery – Advanced Jaw Surgery to Improve Function, Bite, and Facial Harmony

Orthognathic surgery refers to a group of surgical procedures that reposition the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both, to correct skeletal imbalances that cannot be treated with orthodontics alone.

Unlike braces, which move teeth within the jawbone, orthognathic surgery repositions the jawbones themselves in three dimensions. This allows correction of significant bite discrepancies, facial disharmony, and functional issues such as chewing difficulty, jaw pain, and airway obstruction.

At Dr Joy Dental Clinic, this treatment is always performed in collaboration between your orthodontist and oral and maxillofacial surgeon, using advanced digital planning and hospital-based surgical care under general anaesthesia.

Orthognathic Surgery Before and After

When orthodontics alone is not enough

Braces and aligners are highly effective but they have biological limitations. They can reposition teeth, but they cannot correct skeletal jaw discrepancies. Orthognathic surgery may be recommended when the underlying jaw relationship cannot be corrected orthodontically without compromising function or long-term stability.

Common indications include:

Skeletal Class III Malocclusion

Underbite caused by lower jaw prominence or upper jaw deficiency

Skeletal Class II Malocclusion

Overbite with recessed lower jaw, affecting facial balance and sometimes airway function

Skeletal Anterior Open Bite

Inability of the front teeth to meet due to jaw positioning.

Vertical Maxillary Excess

Long face syndrome, causing excessive gum show and increased lower facial height

Facial Asymmetry

Uneven jaw growth causing midline deviation or canting

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Jaw advancement surgery can significantly improve airway space in selected cases

Severe TMJ-Related Skeletal Imbalance

Contributing to chronic jaw discomfort or dysfunction

Our team-based approach at Dr Joy Dental Clinic

Orthognathic surgery is not a single-specialist procedure but a carefully coordinated process that brings together orthodontic and surgical expertise. At Dr Joy Dental Clinic Dubai, your case is collaboratively managed from the outset, with our orthodontist aligning and preparing your teeth for surgery while the oral and maxillofacial surgeon focuses on the precise repositioning of the jawbones.

Throughout every stage, a coordinated clinical team ensures seamless communication and continuity of care, so that orthodontic preparation and surgical planning are fully aligned  resulting in greater precision, efficiency, and predictable long-term outcomes.

What to Expect During Treatment

01

Joint consultation and diagnosis

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation involving both your orthodontist and surgeon. Diagnostic records may include photographs, digital scans, panoramic X-rays, cephalometric imaging, and CBCT 3D scans.

02

Digital surgical planning

Using advanced virtual surgical planning (VSP), your treatment is simulated in 3D. This allows precise prediction of jaw movements and facial changes, helping you understand expected outcomes before treatment begins.

03

Pre-surgical orthodontics (12–18 months)

Braces are used to align teeth within each jaw in preparation for surgery. This phase may temporarily make your bite appear more misaligned — a necessary step to allow accurate surgical correction later.

04

Surgical readiness confirmation

Once orthodontic preparation is complete, your orthodontist and surgeon jointly confirm readiness for surgery. Custom surgical guides are created, and your procedure is scheduled at a premium hospital.

05

Hospital-based surgery

All orthognathic procedures are performed at a fully accredited hospital in Dubai in collaboration with an experienced anaesthesia and surgical team. Oral and maxillofacial surgeon, who is also involved in your treatment planning, performs the surgery to ensure complete continuity of care from consultation through to recovery. The procedure is carried out under general anaesthesia and may involve repositioning of the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both depending on your case. Most patients are able to return home within 1–2 days after surgery.

06

Recovery and post-surgical orthodontics

Initial healing takes approximately 6 weeks, during which swelling gradually subsides and diet is modified. Once bone healing is confirmed, orthodontic treatment resumes to refine your bite and finalise results.

07

Retention and long-term stability

Once treatment is complete, retainers are provided and long-term follow-up is scheduled to ensure stability of your bite and jaw position.
