Correct the jaw,
balance the face.
Jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) corrects severe jaw misalignment — improving bite function, facial balance, breathing, and speech in cases where orthodontics alone isn't enough.
When orthodontics alone isn't enough — surgery completes the correction.
Severe jaw discrepancies — a significantly receding or protruding jaw, an open bite, or a facial asymmetry — cannot be corrected with braces alone. Orthognathic surgery repositions the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both to their correct positions.
At Aliva Aesthetics, jaw surgery is a joint effort between our oral maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontist. Orthodontic preparation aligns the teeth before surgery; surgery then repositions the jaws; a short finishing orthodontic phase completes the result.
When jaw surgery is the answer.
Jaw surgery is indicated for skeletal discrepancies that braces cannot correct — the following are the most common.
Severe Underbite
The lower jaw protrudes significantly further than the upper — corrected by repositioning the mandible.
Severe Overbite
A very deep overbite where the upper jaw is disproportionately larger.
Skeletal Open Bite
An open bite where the jaw bones don't meet — often caused by a vertical skeletal discrepancy.
Facial Asymmetry
Significant left-right jaw asymmetry affecting both function and appearance.
Sleep Apnoea
Jaw advancement surgery can widen the airway and improve obstructive sleep apnoea.
Cleft-Related
Jaw correction following earlier cleft palate treatment.
Jaw surgery procedures we manage.
The type and combination of jaw surgery depends on which jaw (or both) needs repositioning.
Le Fort I Osteotomy
Repositioning the upper jaw (maxilla) for bite correction and facial balance.
BSSO (Lower Jaw)
Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy — moving the lower jaw forward or back.
Bimaxillary Surgery
Both upper and lower jaw repositioned — for complex skeletal discrepancies.
Genioplasty Add-On
Chin repositioning added to jaw surgery for optimal facial balance.
MMA for Sleep Apnoea
Maxillomandibular advancement to widen the upper airway.

What Our Clients Say
Your questions, answered honestly.
Common questions about jaw surgery — answered honestly.
Yes — orthognathic surgery is performed in a hospital under general anaesthesia. You'll typically be admitted for 1–2 nights.
Most people return to work or study in 2–4 weeks. Eating soft foods for 6–8 weeks is required while bones heal. Full recovery and final results take 9–12 months.
Yes — that's one of the goals. Jaw repositioning changes the profile and facial balance significantly. Digital surgical simulation shows the expected change beforehand.
Yes — the jaws are held in their new position with small titanium screws and plates that are rarely removed.
Pre-surgical orthodontics typically takes 12–18 months. Post-surgical finishing takes 3–6 months. Total treatment is usually 18–24 months.
In some cases, yes — maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery advances both jaws, widening the airway and significantly improving obstructive sleep apnoea.
