Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery

What is Double Jaw Surgery?

Bimaxillary orthognathic surgery simultaneously repositions the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) to correct severe skeletal malocclusion, asymmetry, or aesthetic concerns. Combines functional benefits (occlusion, breathing) with dramatic facial transformation.

Why China?

• Cost: $9,500-$18,000 vs. $40,000-$80,000 in the US
• VSP standard: Virtual surgical planning + custom 3D-printed splints at top centers
• Maxillofacial expertise: PUMC Stomatology and West China Stomatology lead Asia
• Integrated ortho-surgical team: Comprehensive workup and follow-up

Who is a candidate?

• Severe Class II/III malocclusion not correctable by orthodontics alone
• Significant facial asymmetry
• Long face syndrome / open bite
• OSA from retrognathia (treats both functional + aesthetic)
• Skeletally mature (typically ≥18, or 16+ with completed growth)

Outcomes

Functional occlusal correction: long-term stable in 90%+. Patient satisfaction: 95%+ (transformative). Facial harmony improvement: dramatic. Major complication rate: <3% (nerve injury — usually temporary, infection, hardware issue).
