Treatments we offer.
We provide carefully planned surgical care to help you feel more comfortable and confident.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw alignment and facial imbalance using advanced digital planning. It can improve bite, speech, and chewing, while reducing strain on the teeth and joints and enhancing facial harmony.
Facial Asymmetry Correction
Facial asymmetry correction addresses imbalances in the underlying jaw and facial structure. Carefully planned surgery can improve jaw coordination, comfort, symmetry, and overall facial harmony.
Combined Orthodontic-Surgical Planning
In most cases, patients require braces alongside jaw surgery to achieve the best outcome. We coordinate both stages under one plan, aligning the teeth and jaws in a structured and predictable way.
Sleep Apnoea Surgery (Jaw Repositioning)
For severe obstructive sleep apnoea linked to jaw position, the upper and/or lower jaws can be moved forward to widen the airway. It’s planned with a respiratory physician or other specialities (sleep medicine, ENT, orthodontics). This improves breathing during sleep, reduces apnoea episodes, and improves daytime energy.

Before you book
When is orthognathic surgery needed?
Orthognathic surgery is usually recommended when the upper and lower jaws do not meet correctly, affecting your bite, breathing or facial balance.
Signs to look for:
- A bite that does not line up, or an under or over bite
- Difficulty biting, chewing or swallowing
- Ongoing jaw pain or tension
- Snoring or disrupted, poor-quality sleep
- Noticeable facial or jaw imbalance
After surgery, aftercare may include a soft or liquid diet, careful oral hygiene, prescribed medication and regular follow-ups to monitor healing and jaw alignment.
If any of these sound familiar, an assessment can determine whether orthognathic surgery is appropriate and plan the right correction for you.

Frequently asked questions.
Is orthognathic surgery painful?
We use general anaesthesia during surgery and provide pain relief after. Most patients feel mild soreness, which gradually improves over the first week.
How long is the recovery period?
Initial healing takes 2–3 weeks, while full recovery can take a few months. We guide you through each stage with regular follow-ups.
Will my appearance change?
Yes, your facial profile and symmetry may improve. We use digital planning to show expected changes before treatment so you know what to expect.
Do you need braces after jaw surgery?
Most patients have orthodontic treatment before and after surgery. We coordinate both stages to align your teeth and jaws smoothly and predictably.
Is orthognathic surgery high risk?
All surgeries carry some risk, but we use precise planning, sterile protocols, and expert care to minimise complications and ensure safety.
How much does this surgery cost?
Costs depend on the treatment plan. We provide a clear breakdown in your consultation so you can make an informed decision comfortably.
When can I return to daily activities?
Most patients resume light activities in 2–3 weeks and gradually return to full routines as healing progresses.
Is orthognathic surgery worth it?
Yes. Orthognathic surgery has around a 90% patient satisfaction rate and about a 94% success rate. It can help achieve facial harmony, improve jaw alignment, and address obstructive sleep apnea. While recovery takes time, many patients feel the long-term functional and aesthetic gains are worth it.
How long do stitches stay in after jaw surgery?
The stitches inside the mouth dissolve on their own within 3 to 4 weeks. Small titanium plates and screws are placed in the jaws to support healing; they are designed to stay for life and are unnoticeable. In about 2 out of 10 cases, they may need to be removed at a later stage.
