Reconstructive

Orthognathic Surgery

Corrective jaw surgery for balance, bite and confidence.

Orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery involves moving the bones of the upper or lower jaw — or both — to correct misalignment. It can dramatically improve biting and chewing, breathing, speech and the overall harmony of the face.

The procedure is often the culmination of a journey with orthodontics. Working in partnership with your orthodontist, Dr. Upadhyay carefully plans each movement to deliver a balanced profile and a comfortable, functional bite.

Who benefits from jaw surgery?

Patients with a significantly receded or protruding jaw, an open bite, facial asymmetry, or jaw-related breathing and chewing difficulties are the most common candidates. Many complete orthodontic treatment before surgery.

A collaborative path

Corrective jaw surgery is a team effort between surgeon and orthodontist. We coordinate closely at every stage — from planning through recovery — to ensure the best possible outcome.
