关于About this treatment

What the procedure involves.

Corrective jaw surgery for misaligned jaws, severe underbite/overbite, facial asymmetry, and obstructive sleep apnea. China's expertise partly driven by high demand for facial contouring in East Asia. Leading centers: Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Peking University School of Stomatology, Fourth Military Medical University. Often combined with orthodontic treatment.

流程Procedure steps

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Cephalometric Analysis and 3D Surgical Planning

    CT scans, cephalometric radiographs, and 3D modeling to analyze jaw relationships, simulate surgical movements, and fabricate patient-specific surgical guides.

    Duration · 1-2 weeks
  2. 02

    Orthodontic Preparation

    Pre-surgical orthodontic alignment to position teeth optimally for post-surgical occlusion. Duration varies based on initial dental alignment.

    Duration · 6-18 months (if needed)
  3. 03

    Orthognathic Surgery Under General Anesthesia

    Intraoral osteotomies (Le Fort I, bilateral sagittal split, or genioplasty) to reposition the maxilla, mandible, or chin using 3D-printed surgical guides and titanium fixation plates.

    Duration · 2-6 hours
  4. 04

    Post-Operative Recovery and Orthodontic Fine-Tuning

    Liquid/soft diet progression, jaw physiotherapy, elastic guidance for occlusion, and post-surgical orthodontic adjustments to achieve final alignment.

    Duration · 6-12 months
Benefits
  • 60-70% cost savings compared to US pricing
  • Extensive surgical experience with Asian facial anatomy and contouring
  • 3D-printed surgical guides for precision jaw repositioning
  • Combined functional improvement (bite, breathing) and aesthetic enhancement
Considerations
  • Inferior alveolar nerve damage causing lip/chin numbness
  • Jaw relapse or incomplete correction over time
  • Post-surgical infection requiring antibiotics or revision
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction or pain
  • Extended orthodontic treatment required before and after surgery
