3Content IntroductionOrthognathic surgery is an unfamiliar term to most people. Therefore they are uncom-fortable, even fearful, in considering it as a treatment option. The information in this booklet is designed to take you step by step through the process involved with orthog-nathic surgery so you understand the entire orthodontic and surgical experience. It is our goal for you to feel completely informed and comfortable with your treatment.

Patient information guide4

Combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment

Orthognathic surgery, also called jaw surgery, corrects the jaws by means of an operation. Such corrections are largely achieved by dissecting the jaw in separate fragments which are then moved into new positions and fixed with plates and screws. All incisions are made inside the oral cavity, avoiding any visible scarring.

Because moving the jaws also moves the teeth, orthognathic surgery is usually performed in conjunction with ortho-dontics so that the teeth are in proper position after surgery. In diagnosing your need for orthognathic surgery, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon and the ortho-dontist will work closely together. The orthodontist is responsible for moving the teeth so they will fit together proper-ly after the jaws have been repositioned. The maxillofacial surgeon is responsible for repositioning the jaw so the teeth and jaws are in proper alignment.

Orthognathic surgery focuses on im-proving the patients appearance as well as the functionality of the jaws and teeth. The aim is to achieve a proper occlusion (the manner in which the upper and lower teeth fit together) and a more aesthetically pleasing face.

The word orthodontics comes from the Greek word or-thos, meaning to straighten, and odons, meaning teeth. Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the straightening of improperly aligned teeth.

The word orthognathic also comes from the Greek word orthos, meaning to straighten, and gnathos, meaning jaw. Orthognathic surgery thus means surgery to straighten the jaw.

Combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatmentProper occlusionMany malocclusions are correctable by wearing orthodontic braces alone. In some situations, however, the upper and lower jaws are of a different size or shape, or are in an incorrect relationship to one another. In this situation it will be necessary to align the jaws and the teeth. In this way the orthodontic result is not compromised and the optimum result is achieved as far as long-term stability, appearance and function are concerned.

Severe malocclusion (bad bite) may cause many functional problems. You may have already experienced some of the following:

inability to chew food properly which compromises digestion

speech problems

facial muscle dysfunction character-ized by headaches, joint pain, etc.

periodontal trauma.

Functionality is increased when teeth fit together firmly, making biting and chewing food easier. Surgery also allevi-ates the grinding and pressure associated with most oral disorders, and prevents further damage to the affected teeth.

Enhanced facial aestheticsPatients also enjoy an enhanced facial profile, since oral disorders frequently affect facial balance and aesthetics.

Some people may consider having cos-metic procedures to enhance their new appearance, such as surgery on the eyes, nose, forehead, chin or neck. You may wish to discuss these options with your surgeon.

Sequence of treatmentCombined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment often takes considerable time to complete and therefore requires great motivation and cooperation from the patient. A close liaison between the pa-tient, the orthodontist and the maxillo-facial surgeon is also important. Several stages are involved in treatment:

evaluation and planning

pre-surgical orthodontics

surgical treatment

post-surgical orthodontics

follow-up visits

ConclusionIn summary, orthodontics correct ab-normal tooth position and orthognathic surgery corrects abnormal jaw position.

Combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment provides us with the oppor-tunity to improve both functional and cosmetic problems at the same time.


About facial harmonyDividing the face in thirdsFacial balance typically is assessed by dividing the face in thirds. The upper third is from the anterior hairline to the point on the midline between the eye-brows (gla-bella). The middle third reaches until a point immediately under the nose (subnasale). The lower third ends on the midpoint of the chin (menton). When each of the thirds is equal, the face is said to be vertically balanced and of ideal proportions.

While tastes do differ, in orthognathic theory, a number of guidelines describe what are the characteristics of an aes-thetically pleasing face.

Facial ConvexityAdditionally, in profile view the face should have a slight degree of convexity as meas-ured from the glabella to the subnasale to the menton. Excess facial convexity, flatness, or concavity is felt to be less ideal. Of course it has to be noted that these guidelines are only idealized concepts. They merely provide a guideline that is not true for every patient. A wide range of faces defy such absolute canons.

Lower jaw surgeryLower jaw surgery is done to correct abnor-malities of the lower jaw (mandible), which may be too small or too large. The jaw can be advanced or retracted surgically. Rotation is also possible.

The most common operation to advance or retract the jaw is called a sagittal split osteotomy (see the tech-nical box). This type of surgery allows for the placement of bone screws or plates. Consequently the jaws dont have to be wired together at the end of the procedure.

The operation is carried out almost entirely from inside the mouth to minimize visible scars on the skin of your face. It is performed under general anaesthesia.

It is then fixed with small screws and sometimes plates. It is often necessary to make a small puncture incision (a few mm long) low down on the side of the cheek to allow the screws to be inserted. These titanium screws, which are left in place permanently, do not set off metal detectors in airports.

The gum inside the mouth is sutured using dissolvable stitches that may take 3-4 weeks to dissolve Sometimes light elastics are placed between the teeth to guide the jaw into the new bite. Lower jaw surgery may be per-formed as a single procedure or in combination with other orthognathic procedures.

Technical: Sagittal split osteotomy

The lower jaw is split in a vertical (sagittal) plane on each side with a small saw behind the last tooth. The bone is split in a front to back direction so the two pieces can slide along each other and still overlap. The part of the lower jaw with the teeth is moved forward or backward as needed to obtain the desired bite and appearance.


When the lower jaw grows out too far in front of the upper jaw, this results in mandible prog-nathism. The lower teeth are more pronounced than the upper teetha condi-tion called underbite.

Orthognathic surgery can be used to slide the lower jaw back.

Retraction of the lower jaw


Advancement of the lower jaw

The underdevelopment of the lower jaw is called ret-rognatia. In this case, the lower teeth are positioned too far behind the upper front teeth (overbite).

This condition can be treated by surgi-cally advancing the lower jaw.


Upper jaw surgeryUpper jaw surgery is necessary to correct ab-normalities of the superior jaw bone (maxilla).

The upper jaw may be or narrow, too long, too short, too far forward or too far back to fit the lower jaw properly. In maxilla surgery, the upper jaw can be ro-tated or repositioned forward, backward, or it can be raised or lowered. Also, asymmetries between different sides of the face can be corrected. Widening of the upper jaw is possible by a surgical split in the midline followed by distrac-tion (see technical box on page 17).

Upper jaw surgery is performed mainly by utilizing a bone dissecting procedure called Le Fort I osteotomy (see techni-cal box).

A Le Fort I osteotomy is the most commonly used procedure to make bone incisions in the upper jaw. This procedure is performed under general anaesthesia.

The operation is carried out entirely inside the mouth. A U-shaped incision is made through the gums above the upper teeth to gain access to the jawbone. The gum is then raised off the bone.

The upper jaw incisions are made with highly specialised tools, which allow for a control-led parting of the bone.

Additional bone is removed if the upper jaw is to be shortened. Bone can be added if necessary to lower the jaw and make it longer (bone graft).

The upper jaw bone is then moved into its final position (planned prior to your surgery) and held in place with tiny titanium plates and screws, which are left in place permanently.

The gums are stitched back into place with dissolvable stitches. These stitches may take three to four weeks to dissolve.

After the bones heal together, the jaw regains its normal strength.

Technical: Le Fort I osteotomy


Advancement of the upper jaw

The underdevelopment of the upper jaw is called horizontal maxillary deficiency. The lower teeth are in front of the upper teeth a condition called underbite.

These patients may have a sunken in or very flat face. Facial contour and dental occlusion can be harmonized with the advancement of the upper jaw by cutting it horizontally and moving it forward.


Shortening of the upper jawVertical maxillary excess is when the upper jaw (maxilla) has grown too far down.

When smiling, too much gingiva is visible (gummy smile) and often there are dif-ficulties in putting the lips together. Not only is this situation cosmetically undesir-able, it can also result in sore, red, bleeding gums from chronic exposure to air.

This problem can be orthognathically cor-rected by excising a segment of upper jaw, therefore elevating the level of the teeth.


Rotation of the upper jaw

When only the back por-tion of the upper jaw is overdeveloped vertically, this will result in the in-ability for the front teeth to meet a condition called open bite (aper-tognathia).

As the back portion of the upper jaw grows vertically downward, the lower jaw will open in a clockwise direction. This explains why open bite patients have a long facial appearance. There is little or no ability to bite using the front teeth. This makes eating a challenge, and causes problems with swallowing, speech, and often resulting in red swollen gums due to chronic air exposure. This condition can be corrected by removing a wedge of bone in the upper jaw.


Widening of the upper jawWhen the upper jaw is too narrow, this results in what is called a transverse maxillary deficiency. This narrowness can cause the upper teeth to bite inside the lower teeth (crossbite), crowding of the teeth, or black corridors upon smiling.

The patient may have a smile that shows mostly the two prominent front teeth, with the others in shadow (buc-cal corridors). Also crossbites can have a pronounced effect on the overall facial appearance.

With a distraction procedure the upper jaw can be widened until it fits around the lower jaw. Surgery is used to separate the two halves of the upper jaw and a distrac-tion device is placed into the jaw. The patient has to turn the expansion screw of the device every day for about two weeks. New bone fills in between the gradually widened two halves. Orthodontic treat-ment will close the gap created by the distraction (for more information see the technical box on the next page).


The surgical procedure to make the bone incisions in the upper jaw is the same as previously explained in the Le Fort I osteotomy of the upper jaw. However, to create two halves one more incision is made vertically on the midline of your upper jaw.

A distraction device is placed with a little plate on each side of the palatal bone of the upper jaw. At the end of the operation, a small blocking screw is inserted.

Activation phaseA new consultation is scheduled a week later. The blocking screw will be removed and the activation of the device can start. The distractor

has a center screw that must be turned with a key. The divider is activated by placing the key into the key-hole in the center screw and then gently pushing toward the back of the mouth.

Each day, we open the palate 0,5 mm. So, after 10 days, we can expect an opening of 5 mm between the two front teeth.

The screw usually has to be turned for 1 to 3 weeks depending on the amount of widening needed.

Consolidation phaseOnce the widening of the palate is achieved, the fixing screw is placed again. The distractor should be kept firm and immobile in the mouth for 3 to 5 months. This allows time for new bone to form and ensures that the widening will not relapse.

In this phase, the orthodontist may begin treatment to close the gap between the front teeth.

Later on, the plates on both sides of the palate will be removed surgically under local anaesthesia.

After the activation phase.

After orthodontic treatment.

Technical and practical: Distraction of the upper jaw


Chin surgery

A particular process, known as a slid-ing genioplasty, involves separating a horseshoe-shaped piece of the chin bone from the lower jaw and sliding it either backwards or forwards, and finally fixing it in place using titanium screws.

The profile of a patient can be sig-nificantly altered with a chin procedure. This, in turn, has a significant effect on overall facial symmetry.

Men and women look best with certain types of chins. A small chin can make a large nose look even bigger, or conversely, a large chin may even make a large nose look tiny for the face. This chin/nose relationship must be harmonious.

A central consideration in deciding if chin remodeling alone is appropriate is whether dental occlusion (the way your teeth meet) is correct or not.

Some faces have a poor projection of the chin, an overprojected chin, or a problem with the width or height of the chin. Chin surgery can be used to improve the appearance of a persons chin.

Chin surgery is carried out under a general anaesthetic and takes about one hour.

An incision is made inside the mouth, so no scar will be visible on the outside.

The chin is cut from back to front on both sides, using a powered saw with a special blade to separate the edge of the chin. The bone segment is then slid forward or backward, or any direction desired. If needed, a segment of bone can be removed.

The piece is then secured with permanent titanium miniplates and screws, which will never be removed.

If dental occlusion is satisfactory, the appearance of the chin can be dealt with by chin surgery alone.

If it is not, a combination of upper or lower jaw surgery may be needed.

Technical: Sliding genioplasty


Advancement of the chinIf only the lowest third of the face is sunken in, yet the occlusion is normal, a chin advancement may be the solution. Especially in men, it can help to make the face look stronger.


Retraction of the chinIn patients with an over-projected chin and a normal occlusion, the chin as a separate entity can be retracted.

Evaluation and planning

PhotographsFrontal and profile facial photographs are an essential part of the overall planning of the case. These images serve as visual aids for bony and soft tissue analysis so that the facial aspects of treatment can be thoroughly evaluated. Photographs of the teeth will also be taken to provide an accurate record of the mouth at the time treatment begins.

Cephalometric radiograph This side view radiograph of the face al-lows us to compare your tooth and jaw relationships to normal or ideal measure-ments. Computerized analysis permits the prediction of planned bone movements and resulting soft tissue response through the merger of the facial pictures with the cephalometric radiograph.

Panoramic radiographThe panoramic radiograph is a compos-ite view of the teeth as well as both jaws. In one film, it shows us if you have the normal number of teeth, wisdom teeth, or impacted teeth.

During your first visit, a set of diagnostic records will be made to determine the nature of your problem and what can be done to correct it. After processing and analyzing these records, we will meet you to discuss your treatment options. The following explains the individual records that may be taken and their purpose.

Dental modelsDental models will be used to study the problems that exist at the beginning of the treatment and are used for reference during pre-treatment planning.

A new software has been developed by Medicim in Belgium, called Maxilim. Using the Maxilim software we can make virtual incisions to move the jaws and chin as planned, then show the potential result to the patient. Small corrections can be made on the computer during the consul-tation. If the patient likes the result, we send the data to Belgium. After a week, we receive a set of acrylic templates that will enable the surgeons to follow the computer plans precisely during the actual procedure.

The use of Maxilim software permits us to predict the facial changes which you might expect with treatment. To be able to do this, a conebeam CT scan will need to be taken. A conebeam CT has the advantage of extremely low radiation dosage plus the fact that the patient is in a sitting position, which gives a more natural appearance of the soft tissues. Please note that the use of Maxilim is not standard and will increase the cost of your treatment.

Optional: Conebeam CT


Pre-surgical orthodontics2Pre-surgical orthodontic treatment often involves fixed brace treatment lasting 12-18 months and is essential for the stability of the result.

The purpose of orthodontic therapy is to level and align the teeth so that once the surgeon moves the jaw bones, the teeth will fit together.

Orthodontists are specialised dentists that are typically required to complete an additional three to four years of post-dental school education before becoming a certified practitioner of orthodontics.

Tooth irregularities are treated using corrective appliances known as braces. Braces are made from wires and springs attached to tiny metal plates or a plastic mould. Braces use gentle pressure to slowly shift teeth into their new posi-tions. Modern orthodontic treatment uses very mild pressure to reduce the discomfort. Also, modern braces are less noticeable than old-fashioned braces.

The braces remain in position during the operation to aid the surgeon in position-ing the jaws correctly.


3 The surgery

Pre-Operative Instructions You should not eat or drink anything

8-10 hours before surgery.

Arrange the necessary time off from work or school. Most patients will need one to four weeks of convales-cence.

To avoid pulling clothes over your head postoperatively, bring some button-down or zippered shirts.

We strongly advise you to stop smok-ing three weeks before surgery, as smoking counteracts wound healing.

The operation You will be admitted to the hospi-

tal the morning of your scheduled surgery. The length of your surgery depends on the procedure being per-formed, but normally ranges from 2 to 5 hours.

Orthognathic surgery is performed under general anaesthesia.

Intravenous fluids are administered at the time of surgery. The I.V. is used during surgery to maintain adequate fluid levels and is used after surgery to administer pain medication, an-tibiotics, etc. It is generally removed the day after surgery.

ComplicationsThe possible complications include:

Bleeding.

Infection.

Nerve injury (permanent numbness of the lip, tongue, cheek, etc.).

Relapse or return to original jaw po-sitioning.

Damage to teeth.

Scarring.

Temporomandibular (TMJ, or jaw joint) problems.

Nasal airway obstructions.

Non-union (inadequate closure) of the bone.

Sinusitis (swelling of the nasal si-nuses).

All of these are rare.


Post-operative instructions: Cooling: During the first postop-

erative hours a mask with a constant temperature of 15 degrees Celsius will cool the surface of your face and keep bruising and swelling to a minimum. This will add to your comfort and as-sist you in a more rapid recovery from surgery. Never theless you should be prepared to be seriously bruised and swollen for about one week.

Pain: Postoperative pain normally is surprisingly mild. We will provide you with painkillers for the first few days.

Food: It is a good idea to only eat soft foods for the first few weeks. After about a month, patients can switch to foods with regular consistencies.

Aftercare: Normally, you will be dis-charged from hospital by your surgeon one or two days after surgery. If alone, one of our nur ses will accompany you to your hotel. You will have daily revi-sions in Agave Clinic during your stay in Marbella.

Our team is permanently at the pa-tients disposal. Contact with our specialist during office hours can be made by telephoning our direct line. After hours this contact is available through the 24-hour emergency serv-ices of the USP hospital.

Before you leave Marbella you will be seen again at Agave Clinic. If neces-sary, sutures will be removed 5 to 7 days, before leaving Marbella.

Working: About two to three weeks after surgery you can start working again. The swelling will disappear completely in about six months.

Sports: Refrain from contact sports for 6 weeks.

Oral hygiene: We will provide you with a post-surgical antiseptic mouth-wash, with which you should rinse as directed until you can brush your teeth normally. However, you should try to switch to fully cleaning your teeth with a toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss as soon as possible.

Mouth opening: Immediately after the operation you should actively exercise your jaw (using your chewing muscula-ture, not by manipulating your jaw with your hands). Practice gently opening your mouth and moving your jaw from side to side. This ensures a speedy re-covery of normal jaw function.

The cooling mask against pain and swelling.


Post-surgical orthodontics4Usually a period of post-surgical orthodontics are required after the surgery to fine-tune the bite. This finish-ing period usually lasts between 6 to 9 months.

Three weeks after surgery, the orthodon-tist continues with the treatment plan. The tooth arcs were already in line, but now the relationship between them has been normalized by the surgeon. The or-thodontist will now work to finetune the bite so all the lower teeth make contact with the corresponding upper teeth.

Fixed retainer for the lower teeth.

Removable retainer for the upper teeth.

RetentionUsually a fixed retainer will be bonded to the inside of the lower front teeth before removing the braces. The upper retainer is usually removable. One week after removing your braces, you will receive this retainer and instructions on care and use.

Retention is a crucial part of your or-thodontic treatment. Retainers are to be worn at all times during the first few months to one year following treatment. Once you have reached a point where your teeth and bones have stabilized, you will be able to limit the use of your retainer to sleeping only. Keep in mind, however, that the more the retainers are worn, the less chance there is of teeth moving out of place.

Follow up5

One, three and six weeks after surgery we would like to check your bite and evalu-ate your healing progress

Once your treatment is complete, a set of final records will be taken at Agave Clinic. These records consist of the same records taken at the time of your initial visit. This appointment is generally 1-2 weeks after your braces are removed.

Six months later one more visit to the orthodontist is necessary to check your bite and to adjust your retainer (for the last time!).


Frequently asked questions

Do I need to follow a spe-cial diet after the surgery?You should only eat soft foods for the first weeks. After about a month, pa-tients can switch to normal foods.

In principle, patients can eat anything they want to, just not always in the way that theyre used to. Food can be finely shredded with a food processor, blender, or mixer.

When can I start practi-tioning sports?Bone healing will take 6 weeks. After that the bone will be as strong as before the operation and you can practice any sports you like again.

Will the plates and screws be removed?No. Plates and screws are usually not re-moved, only in the rare case of infection.

Will my jaw break more eas-ily after such an operation?No. Once the bone is completely healed, your jaw is as strong as before.

When can I start working again?Most people start working after two to three weeks.

Do the plates activate metal detectors?No, they are too small for that.

How long will the swelling last?About 90% of the swelling will subside in 3 months. But it takes up to 6 months for the swelling to disappear completely.

Is orthognathic surgery painful?The postoperative pain is remarkably mild and can be managed with standard painkillers. The swelling, however, causes discomfort for 1 to 2 weeks.

Is orthognathic surgery dangerous?This type of surgery, in the hands of an experienced team, is very safe and has a very predictable outcome. In very rare cases a second surgery in the first week after the initial intervention is necessary, because the position of the jaws is not as planned. Apart from complete sensory nerve damage, resulting in permanent numbness in half of the lower lip and chin (which is extremely rare), no major complications exist.
