What does treatment cost in China vs Western countries?

In China, the total cost for orthognathic surgery typically ranges from $10,000 to $20,000 USD, including surgeon fees, hospital stay, anesthesia, and basic orthodontic appliances. In contrast, similar procedures in the United States or Western Europe often cost between $30,000 and $60,000 USD or more. The lower cost in China does not compromise quality, as many hospitals use the same technology and materials as their Western counterparts. Patients should budget separately for pre- and post-operative orthodontics, which may add $2,000–$5,000 USD.
