Corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a procedure that corrects irregularities of the jaw bones and realigns the jaws and teeth to improve their function. At London Dental Specialists, our surgical team performs this procedure to address skeletal and dental irregularities, improving both functionality and facial appearance. The surgery may involve moving the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both to achieve proper alignment and bite function.
Candidates for corrective jaw surgery typically include individuals with:
At London Dental Specialists, we conduct thorough evaluations to determine if surgery is the appropriate treatment option for each patient's specific condition.
Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the procedure. Patients who undergo both upper and lower jaw surgery typically require approximately 2 weeks off work or school, while those having single jaw surgery may need about one week. Initial healing takes about 6 weeks, but complete healing and final jaw positioning may take up to 12 months. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and results.
Corrective jaw surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. After surgery, patients typically experience discomfort and swelling for several days, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients report that the discomfort is less severe than anticipated. Our team at London Dental Specialists provides detailed pain management protocols and close follow-up to ensure patient comfort throughout recovery.
Initially after surgery, speaking may be challenging due to swelling and adjusting to your new jaw position. Unless your jaws are wired shut, we encourage patients to attempt speaking to prevent delays in returning to normal oral function. Most patients notice speech improvements within 1-2 weeks, with normal speech patterns typically returning within a month. Our speech therapists at London Dental Specialists can provide exercises to help with speech adaptation if needed.
Following corrective jaw surgery, patients progress through dietary stages:
London Dental Specialists provides detailed dietary guidelines and nutritional advice to ensure proper healing and comfort during recovery.

At London Dental Specialists, we use advanced 3D imaging to show patients potential aesthetic changes before surgery.
Preparation for corrective jaw surgery typically includes:
London Dental Specialists provides detailed pre-operative instructions and support to ensure you're fully prepared for surgery and recovery.
