Overview
Jaw surgery repositions the upper, lower or both jaws to correct skeletal mismatch — considered when braces alone cannot fix a bad bite, asymmetry or airway blockage. Segments are fixed with biocompatible titanium plates for a durable result. SmileX coordinates records, orthodontics and surgical planning, with hospital care for the procedure itself.

Common questions
Who needs jaw surgery?
Underbite, overbite, open bite, crossbite, crooked chin, or sleep-apnoea linked to jaw position — confirmed by scans.
When can I eat normally?
Liquids for the first days, then soft food with gradual return over weeks per review.
Will my looks change?
Bite correction often improves facial balance as a secondary effect.
What affects the cost?
Depends on single versus double jaw scope, hardware, hospital and anaesthesia days, plus combined orthodontics. Fully itemised plan after scans.
