What you can expect after Jaw Surgery

Before the procedure

Jaw surgery is performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Surgery is usually done under general anesthesia. The surgery takes place in the hospital and requires 2 nights and 3 days.

 

During the procedure

Surgery usually can be performed inside your mouth, so no facial scars show on your chin, jaw, or around the mouth.

Your surgeon makes cuts in the jawbones and moves them into the correct position. Once your jaw movement is completed, tiny bone plates, screws, wires and rubber bands may be used to secure the bones into their new position. These screws — which are smaller than a bracket used for braces — become integrated into the bone structure over time. In other cases, bone may be reshaped to provide a better fit.

Jaw surgery may be performed on the upper jaw, lower jaw, chin or any combination of these.
