What is Orthognathic Surgery? [Jaw Surgery with Braces Explained]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery or corrective jaw surgery, corrects misalignment of the jaw bones. It also helps with activities like chewing and swallowing. Orthognathic surgery can even improve your profile and facial appearance.
Jaw surgery is usually done in combination with braces, Invisalign, or some other orthodontic procedure. Jaw surgery and braces is a great option for patients who have significant bite problems that may not be able to be fixed with orthodontics alone.
But you don’t have to worry about making this decision on your own. Orthodontists will work with an oral surgeon to best determine the treatment plan that is right for each patient. The orthodontist generally handles the braces or Invisalign portion, while the oral surgeon performs the operation.
But don’t worry, in this video Dr. Ty talks more about Orthognathic surgery and if you will need it!

#PremierOrthodontics #Braces #JawSurgery
Hi! I am a 16 year old female who had a double jaw surgery to correct an uneven jaw and overbite right before my birthday. My family and I had always known that I would likely need surgery; we had tried other options when I was still growing, but in the end, we knew I’d have to have it. So, I wanted to share with you my experience, and tell you guys all of the most important stuff!
1. APPEARANCE.
Believe it or not, the jaws affect SO MUCH MORE than just your jawline! I remember, on my last few months, I noticed so many unappealing features after a friend’s sister pointed out that my face was asymmetrical as a joke. I had, of course, the crooked jawline- but I had no idea how much it affected my entire face. Well- okay, it’s more like my family, friends, and even some doctors didn’t know hahah. One side always seemed to have more of a jawline than the other (left had the most, right had the least). This is to be expected- after all, I did literally have a crooked jaw- but even my nose, lips, and eyes were affected too! My nose had a dip in it just after my nasal bone and made a strange curve. However, after my upper jaw was moved forward? The dip was gone! Before surgery, I had also noticed my eyes were uneven too. One seemed to be higher than the other and more distal, but after surgery, that fixed too! With the new area, my lips were also able to protrude more- it actually looks like I had some kind of filler! To me, the appearance always mattered the most, and I have to say- if you have good insurance? This procedure will give you not only a better way of life, but also cosmetic improvements that would’ve costed THOUSANDS for other people.
2. RECOVERY
For me, recovery has been very well! It can be scary to think about- but I’m going to be honest- pain wise? If you are ever in pain, the worst it feels like is a bit of sore gums and MAYBE a toothache, which can be fixed right up with medication. The worst part, I’d say, is the swelling. The swelling can be scary, because your face looks completely different- but I was very lucky to get my swelling in my cheeks! I kind of just look like I have a baby face lol. If it weren’t for bruising, I’d even say by about day 6-7 you can go out! You’ll look very different, but not a bad different whatsoever! The eating part might not be pleasant if you enjoy food, but overall, I would say it’s worth it.
My Specific Case:
So my case, I will admit, was a lot different I think. I had a very wonderful surgeon who had tons of experience. Also, I am generally healthy, and let me tell you- I knew that my asymmetry in my face was just caused by the surgery all along. NO ONE believed me. You might not either- it is crazy to think that a movement of jaws changes everything- but it is absolutely true! The surgeon said that I was one of the easiest patients to work on. I ended up not needing the movement of my chin- my face was just fine after the surgery due to delicate, more feminine features, the plastic surgeon said. I can’t tell you how comforting that was to hear. This jaw problem can totally cause your natural beauty to not be able to show, and having it fixed just shows how gorgeous you really are.
Overall, the jaw surgery is completely worth it!! I’ve had so much more confidence, and am even considering trying out modeling. (Just make up for now- my body still needs some help lol). I know of one girl who had this same surgery- it increased her confidence so much, she went to France, where she became a successful model! Always trust your doctors and what they say, but if you commit to this surgery, I promise, it’ll be worth your time. Not eating for a while may suck, but I’m about a week in, and even with the swelling still here, I can confidently tell you this will be the best decision you ever make for yourself. You can completely change your life.

Thanks for your comment ❤
This has made me feel better ❤ I’m a 15 year old female and I’m probably getting this when I’m 16 or 17. I hope you have an amazing and quick recovery and I hope 3 months later you’re doing well 💞
Thanks so much for this insightful comment🩷
This was very helpful and informative! I am surprised they let you get the surgery so young though.....I am a 23 year old female and have just started my journey (braces first). They told me I needed to wait till my early 20s in order to let my jaws fully "mature". I would've loved to be able to get the surgery at a younger age, but at the same time am glad I dont have to go to highschool during the recovery period. Would love to hear an update!!!
I had this surgey 9 years ago not long after I turned 18. Changed my life for the better!
well done i was too scared to get it done. I'm (m30) I once seen a post on Reddit asking women if they would consider dating a guy with a overbite and more than 80+% said they wouldn't. I'm not bad looking but always wondered why I struggled with women. it's late but I decided to go with the sergery.
Does it hurt after ?
@@fatemehsadatghasemi3108 it hurt during the recovery, but once it healed everything feels normal
Does it ruin the beard line?
@@ThatShitGood No, I have no issues with growing my beard.
Thanks for the illustrations, the surgery procedure is so much clearer and easier to envision.
Glad it was helpful! 👍
@@PremierOrthodontics gimme your address
I’m about 6 months post op now. Would absolutely recommend this procedure. Changed my life.
Impressive presentation! To the point but also thorough!
Thank you 👍
I had my lower jaw advanced back in 2003. Before the surgery could happen, and before the braces could go on, I had an appliance glued to my upper teeth. I think it was called a spacer. There was a little wheel in the part that covered the roof of my mouth and every night my mom had to take a key that fit into the wheel and turn it so that my upper jaw would expand. Eventually I had an enormous gap in my front teeth that thankfully closed after my braces were put on. I don’t remember much from the jaw surgery, just that I stayed overnight in the ICU then went home the next day. I had to wear a “jaw bra” to help with the swelling. My mouth wasn’t wired shut but just rubber banded. I went through a lot of Jell-O in the immediate aftermath. The surgery was considered medically necessary but I don’t remember having any issues with chewing or speaking before it was done and my profile didn’t change much.
was there any nerve injury
I'm going to have braces next week and I think I'm going to do an orthognathic surgery next year. Pretty scared but I won't regret it. :')
How much is the surgery
@@francisfantasy7408 it's probably about $20,000.
Do it, if you're seriously considering it then it means you probably need it and you won't regret it. I'm two months away from jaw surgery now. I can't wait to get it done!! Good luck to you 🙏
@@bearofdeath Thanks you! And yes I'm going to do it as soon as possible. Best of luck!
@@SlowedFavSongs I'm so happy for you that you chose to do it for yourself. I'm rooting for you too!!! And thank you for the good luck wishes!! I'm gonna need em, lol 🙏💯✨
A "brief period of time to adjust to a new facial appearance". A RUclipsr I follow had double jaw surgery and it took her at least a full year of struggling and some professional mental health care to accept her 'new' face. That's not brief or easy. That said, the procedure has cured all of her bite problems and was definitely worth it.
Lol I’m getting this surgery done in a year or so… I’m super nervous but excited
I had two major jaw surgeries because the left side of my jaw wasn’t growing like it was supposed to. I had to get braces before the surgery and ended up having to have them on from 6th grade to my junior year of high school. It really made a difference for me and it no longer hurts to eat! Super thankful for my amazing surgeons. Thank you for all you do! (Also made my jaw line symmetrical and looks so much better now!)
what about the surgery cost
@@domsingh3751 well at that time my parents had really good health insurance so it paid for most of both surgeries, we only had to pay like $200 which is nothing compared to the tens of thousands of dollars that they cost out of pocket.
@@Isaiah-xi3lu actually my face is asymmetrical .. so what about the cost of surgery?
@@domsingh3751 I’m not sure how much it cost in total. But I know for both surgeries it was over $20,000. Mine was too but I have a lot of bone and joint issues so they deemed it medically necessary for me to have them done.
The matter is important for sick people, not the well-being of the situation is serious
My orthodontist wanted me to get DJS first (before braces) They installed the brackets a week before surgery and plan to finish the braces installation 8 weeks later. I'm on week 6 post-op. I started off as a class III underbite and crossbite. I have a pretty significant overbite now after surgery. From what I've been told, the overbite is normal and the braces will fix this. The reason the overbite is bigger is because they accounted for the expected relapse which is common and expected in my case. I'm really hoping everything aligns perfectly after the braces and relapse like they're predicting.
hi, I was a "surgery first" patient as well. It's been four months since I had my double jaw surgery (for an underbite and asymmetry on lower jaw). My mouth was wired shut for 3 weeks & after those weeks when they opened my mouth, I had a hard time closing my mouth (like I couldn't properly bite down on my own teeth). But, after a few weeks, everything healed itself with help of braces & elastics. Today, I can chew/bite/talk easily. I have no problem opening or closing my mouth/teeth as well. Braces do fix that problem. Just be patient. Time heals everything! Hope my words helped. I wish you a smooth recovery. :)
Hi Dr. I have a question, I’ve had braces in the past, about ten years ago, so my underbite was corrected, but I have a retruded jaw. My side profile look like image at min @4:38 , I do suffer from sleep apnea and have trouble swallowing food and sometimes with speech. Is it possible that I am a candidate for a ortho surgery even if my bite is fine?
Im currently on a top brace, and its getting close to my lower jaw advancement. Same day surgery by the orthodontist. Im in Australia
Would you recommend this surgery to a person that already has TMJ problems? I've heard that it could be worse after the surgery. Thank you!
I’m gonna be getting this surgery probobly this year
3:22 I had mandibular set back surgery after removal of the four wisdom teeth. My lower lip is permanently numb because of this procedure. I was already informed beforehand of this resulting condition. But I have a great set of teeth.
Hello at what age did you had your surgery my orthodontist said I need to wait till 21 or atleast 20 and only afterwards I can have surgery
@@zigsaw7161 I first had braces when I was 10. Then I had braces again when I was 32 along with the orthognathic surgery.
@@RaymondHng how old are you now?
But can you move your lower lip Raymond?
I had a double jaw surgery with genioplasty in 2019 and I love the results!
Hi I need help.
I’m really very scared to do surgery.
Should I do it or not?
I don’t want to look freaking ugly.
Im very sacred that I don't know what will happen to me in the future.
Im very scared that if nerves is damage or gone then I'II be f**k
I was supposed to do it on in 2021 or 2022 but I’m very scared. Please help me please
@@Unknow_wanted hi, did you talk with an oral surgeon?
@@anoukc6928 yes I did. I’ve talked to them many times. They only told me that I’ve been fine, nothing worry.
I’m still very scared so much that I’m not sure if I should do it or not because idk what will happen if anything no good in the future & idk if the nerve will damage or not after surgery or in the future & also I’m scared that if metal inside is damage I’ll be f**k too 😭😭😭😔😔😔.
This is the hardest thing ever I need to do in my life & this surgery is really risky.
Can you please please help me please I’m begging you 🙏🙏🙏
@@Unknow_wantedget the surgery you wont regret it better to do the surgery now then to wait when its to late
@@Unknow_wanted did you do it? Howd it go?
What if the patient grew up mouth breathing and tongue on floor entire growth, they now have flat face with no undereye support, and a narrow upper palate.
Does the bone heal back to 100% strength in the jaw? Or is there a weakness. After full recovery are their any restrictions to life? Could I become a MMA fighter if I chose to
Is jaw surgery possible for someone who is 70 and have type 2 diabetes insulin and tablets dependent? I have class 3 malocclusion, open bite on left side with narrow and very high maxilla.
i think the dentist needs this jaw surgery lol
What diagnosis do i need to be done to know if my jaws are normally positioned or not ?
So jaw surgery is only for extreme cases of overbite? I think i have a mild one
Is it true that braces for underbite surgery has increase space between the two jaw, meaning pulling the upper jow and make the lower one go forward more?
What should be the position of the mandible when we bite? Should we retract our mandible backwards completely so that we can have proper occlusion?
What if you already wore braces years earlier? Also, can it still be done if you have an implant?
Unfortunately, most lower Jaws that get retractive surgery are not protrusive.
Almost always the preferable position is to leave the lower jaw in the forward position, and just advance the maxilla as much as necessary. If the lower jaw is surgically retruded, the airway will be collapsed, increasing the likelihood of sleep apnea
The other thing I noticed, was the fact that there were some extremely narrow maxilla’s in this video, and maxillary SKEKETAL expansion was not performed, where you can see the patient would’ve most definitely benefited from maxillary expansion first.
I don’t blame these doctors though; very little is taught about jaw position and skeletal development and it’s relation to AIRWAY.
We Need to breath mainly through our noses! Whatever needs to be done to increase the ability to breathe through our noses needs to be focused-on (maxillary skeletal expansion) and the air then has to have minimal resistance making its way into the lungs, therefore keeping pharyngeal airway open (keeping mandible advanced) is also extremely important b
Outstanding comment
I’ve just begun Invisalign for crowding and have a very deep bite. My orthodontist said my bite could only be improved with jaw surgery. I’m 62 and he said that at my age surgery wasn’t recommended because bones don’t heal as well in older people and because of age the surgery wouldn’t necessarily give me a good result. Does that sound reasonable?
I’ve heard that there’s an unofficial age limit for the surgery as well. Before a certain age because might not heal as well due to bone lost nature and etc. best age is 18-45” if not mistaken.
Hello Dr. My question is I'm 50 years old and have a level 3 underbite, which they say is bad, has anyone my age or older that has had this surgery? Also I have no teeth, it's genetic, my parents had their teeth taking out when they were in their 40's..
I’ll get mine in 8 days
im 15, i finished braces a couple months ago, and i have a pretty bad receding lower jaw when i close my mouth. It looks really ugly and i hate the way i look for it, should i get surgery or is there another way?
I need to do this surgery ..but very expensive ..
4:11 this is the one I have to get this summer😂
Good Luck on your smile journey!
@@PremierOrthodontics thank you ☺️
Hi, I have a question about Mandible surgery and placing 6 sterilizers under the mouth. Do we able to take out those 6 sterilizers from the mouth which that Surgeon placed in the patient's mouth. Do we show again to some Dentist to take out those sterilizers from our mouth.
At what point after putting on braces do we meet with an orthognathic surgeon?
Hello the doctor suggested me an upper and lower jaw surgery .. my nose is pretty sharper at this moment. I'm afraid if my nose shape change to a piggy nose after both the jaws are adjusted. Can u please advise on this ? Thank you
Hi Doctor,
Thanks for sharing the video!
I have a question, at 4:32, for mandibular extension, the illustration shows that after cutting the jawbone and extending it with titanium arms, the gap is filled with new bone growth. Is that accurate? Thanks!
Yeah it grows new bone
The idea that you'd spend all this time and money doing jaw surgery, and then the potential of relapse occurring. That's what scares me.
my upper four teeths r forward like 30° angle and it looks bad and makes my upper lip and nose region look like it's puffed .. so can I get a surgery and correct it.
What will be with tytanium screws after surgery!? Will they remain with patient forever!?
If you don't mind me asking you could you please make a video on total jaw joint replacement surgery and pros and cons of that surgery as i too have a problem of TMD since 10 years now and my surgeon told me that I a total jaw joint replacement surgery but I am a bit sceptical about it of getting my nerves damaged so that is why I have not yet got the surgery done.
Total joint replacement surgery is more of an oral surgery topic rather than an orthodontic topic. Orthodontists usually aren't the experts in this area and we would probably not be the best source of information for this very complex topic.
I want this surgery but the recovery scares me so much , I’ll make an appointment with a surgeon in January 😔
Good luck with your smile journey!
Please i just got double jaw surgery im on day 4 i cant bruh my teeth the back of my teeth feel nasty what do i do
Yea my dentist said I need jaw surgery and need braces
Hi doctor thanks for the video it is really informative video. Just wanted to understand in the risks it is mentioned nerve injury, can you please elaborate what could it be and what could be the effects of such injury? And is it permanent or can be cured ? Look forward to your response. Thanks.
Hey! I’m no doctor, but I had the surgery 2 years ago. I unfortunately got one nerve injury that can come with the surgery.
It’s like a numb/sting feeling in one or more spots in the face where the nerve can’t fully recover in which can happen if the nerve is to close to where the surgeon needs to cut and the things they do in a surgery. So the nerve gets damaged and can’t recover properly.
I need this surgery because my jaw almost gone and I'm also overbite problem
I live in California. How can I find a good oral surgeon? Thanks.

Hi I have a few questions, is jaw surgery always necessary? Will you be affected in the long run if you don’t get surgery? Do you recommend it for older patients? I have a mild underbite, I have been to many orthodontists some have told me I need surgery,others have told me I can fix it with braces+elastics which I choose to do,But I am worried about the effects in the long run I am an older patient?! I really don’t want and have money for surgery.
Try braces + elastics first if not you can always have surgery later on in life. That's what I'm doing but with an overbite
I had double jaw surgery .how many months rubberband my teeth sir
Hi, I have a significant overbite. I had braces for three years and my teeth are now aligned, but my jaw and face structure still look like a goose. After my braces were removed the orthodontist told me I couldn’t have jaw surgery, this made me very sad, because I thought everything was going to be fixed with the braces. He told me I could do a genioplasty, but I don’t think it’s going to look the same. It still possible for me to have jaw surgery, I feel that I wasted all my money on braces.
Get a second opinion!
@@smileymctrashbag Hi, I’m trying to schedule a meeting with a Maxilofacial Medic, but where I live there are not many. I’m hoping to be able to have the jaw surgery, it would have been easier and better for me from the beginning. Thank you for your recommendation!

What happens if you get this surgery and in a fight you get punched in your jaw? Will it get messed up and ruin what the surgery did?
Possibly. Depends on how long after your surgery you get punched. But after the surgery you're not supposed to do any contact/physically demanding sports for 10-12 weeks. You're supposed to be very careful so you don't shift your bite!
My 2 canines has been removed one on the upper and one opposite to it of the lower when i was 12yrs old and this caused severe midline dhift of teeth and uper lip also one side of the cheeks. I domt know ehat to do and the doctors in africa telling me its hard to correct midline of the teeths can someone pls help me or libk me to specialist 😢
Why might it relapse?
I'm waiting for surgery. Not long now. One question no one has answered for me is how long will I have to have retainers for after? Do I have to wear them 24/7 for the rest of my life?just at night?
That is a good question. I assume it should be worn at night, to prevent the teeth from shifting back to it original state.

My replies was how come you didn't see that before you operated me? That's what you were supposed to do in the first place. My jaw problem as always been a bone problem not a bite / teeth problem.

@@SimonRK Thanks for asking. The first week was awful for me, I had so much trouble eating and drinking.

But now when 3weeks already past by im feeling better and im not as swollen anymore and I can eat but not chew yet, im just wating for my 6 week post-OP to come so I can finally chew food again. my jaw and my bite looks so much better and I am so happy with the results so far. well my chin are still numb so I really hope it come backs soon. But overall it went really well and its not that bad actually, even tho it is scary at first.

Thank you for asking I really really hope you doin better.
It feels nice to finally talk/write with someone whos goin through the same thing and understand how it feels.

Hi doctor, how much it cost of lower jaw surgery?
Around $2
I was just quoted 12k in Canada, I don’t have insurance.
Where in Canada? I’m in Ontario and the surgery was covered by Ohip. The only thing I needed to pay was the 3D planning which was around 7k. Work benefit might cover some of those 7k cost. In my case around 2k.
Wow what a price difference in US and even within Canada. 20k to 40k in US. 12K in Canada (not sure which part), I got quoted for 7k in BC for lower jaw.
@@hannytarore4472 I just visited a new orthodontist because of these comments, I had a feeling I was getting ripped off.
The new price I was quoted is 8,800 and I no longer need to have teeth removed.
@@_multiverse_ what province are you at? My quote is for lower jaw only btw.
@@hannytarore4472 It all depends where you live?

It sounds like you have a very complicated case and I would rely on the doctors that have examined your jaw and bite and trust their recommendations. We wouldn't be able to provide any real advice on your specific case without having done a proper examination.
Good luck with everything!
@@PremierOrthodontics well the tmj specialist told me what do I been eating soft food try do some jaw exercise which I been doing for week now everytime I do them I get headaches that drive me nuts .I been wanting get this overbite fix for years
Do the titanium plates stay there forever?
Yes! I have them
My surgeon here in Germany said you will remove them after one year of surgery
@@jay.jay. I’m 8 days post op. Mine said I could have them removed after 6 months but it’s advisable to have them forever.
@@tracyfins did they say why it's better to keep them? I forgot to ask my surgeon. He said you can keep them forever if you want. I said I prefer to remove them.
@@jay.jay. I forgot to ask too 🙈

Don't be scared! Just remember in the long run it will help with your bites health! You got this! (;

Will the titanium and plates will be removed after the bones have been fused
No
They're there permanently. Good thing is metal detectors wont beep when you go through them.
@@lion1987queen lol 😆
You can can remove them if you want to, but it's another surgery and you don't feel them. If you remove them they need to cut you up again and you are swollen again for weeks and your mouth hurts so ppl just leave them in (I did too)

The poor people in the video all needed to have their palates widened first. The second girl's face is crooked and her face looks too long even after surgery-not the best outcome. Were any of them taught proper tongue posture? A side profile pic of the last two people would've been very helpful to truly see the outcome. Orthotropics for the win!
Is 40 too old
For this surgery
nope
