Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery is commonly known as the double jaw surgery.
It is a surgical procedure that corrects the bite by realigning the upper and lower jaws when the upper jaw (maxilla) and the lower jaw (mandible) are misaligned or not functioning properly. As a result, it helps create a more beautiful-looking face shape. Unlike facial contouring surgery, which involves partial removal of the bones, this surgical procedure moves the jawbones by performing osteotomy on the upper and lower jaws as a way to address various issues such as a protruding chin, facial asymmetry, protruding mouth, long face, etc. This helps improve the functional aspect in relation to chewing and speaking and create a beautiful yet natural-looking face shape.

01 Osteotomy is performed on the upper and lower jaws.
02 The upper and lower jaws are realigned.
03 The bones are fixed in place with pins.

Is Osteotomy the Only Key Factor in Orthognathic Surgery?

When it comes to orthognathic surgery, it is important to predict the post-op appearance after
performing osteotomy without damaging the surrounding nerves.
At iWELL, we use a 4D high-precision diagnosis system to identify the locations of nerves and blood vessels and assess the state of the muscles
and fat as well as the bone structure and movement. Based on this in-depth analysis, we proceed with an individually tailored procedure.
Even a tiny difference of 1~2mm can have a major impact on the functions and sensations,
so it is highly important to ensure safety and accuracy during this procedure.

With respect to orthognathic surgery, the cosmetic and functional aspects
as well as safety and accuracy must be taken into consideration. What is more important than applying
new surgical methods is to improve the functions without damaging the original
functions and to ensure that the jaws and face shape are left undamaged by the procedure.

A Different Starting Process
Instead of solely focusing on correcting the bite, we perform a thorough review of the facial structure using a high-precision 3D CT scan prior to surgery so as to predict the results when planning for surgery. This helps us produce more accurate and satisfying results.

Emphasis on Natural Appearance
We perform orthognathic surgery that has been optimized for Asian faces, instead of trying to aim for a standardized face shape. This helps us accentuate the attractive traits of each patient with an optimum ratio determined individually, and this results in a beautiful and youthful appearance that seems natural.
