Bilateral jaw surgery, also known as Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy, is a complex surgical procedure aimed at correcting significant discrepancies in the position and alignment of both the upper and lower jaws. This specialized surgical intervention addresses issues such as severe malocclusion (misalignment of the teeth and jaws), facial asymmetry, and obstructive sleep apnea. Bilateral jaw surgery is a transformative treatment option that can significantly improve both the aesthetic appearance and functional aspects of the jaw, leading to enhanced facial harmony, bite function, and overall oral health.

The patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation, including dental and facial imaging, to assess the extent of the jaw discrepancies and plan the surgical approach.
The surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort and safety throughout the operation.
The oral and maxillofacial surgeon makes incisions inside the mouth along the gum line to access the upper and lower jaws without visible external scars.
Using specialized surgical instruments, the surgeon carefully cuts and mobilizes both the upper and lower jaws, allowing for precise repositioning according to the preoperative treatment plan.
The mobilized jaws are repositioned to correct the skeletal discrepancies, improve facial aesthetics, and optimize bite alignment and function.
Once the jaws are repositioned, small bone plates and screws are used to stabilize the bones in their new position, promoting optimal healing and long-term stability.
The surgical incisions are carefully closed with dissolvable sutures, and any excess tissue is trimmed to facilitate proper healing.
Following surgery, patients require a period of recovery and rehabilitation, during which they may experience temporary swelling, discomfort, and dietary restrictions. Close follow-up care is essential to monitor healing and address any postoperative issues.

Bilateral jaw surgery involves surgically correcting both the upper and lower jaws during the same procedure.
Those with significant upper and lower jaw discrepancies that can’t be fully corrected with either upper or lower jaw surgery alone are candidates.
It can correct horizontal and vertical misalignments of both jaws simultaneously. This includes underbites, overbites, open bites, crooked teeth, facial asymmetry, and jaw deformities.
The surgeon makes incisions inside the mouth, repositions both the upper and lower jaw into proper alignment, and secures them with plates and screws.
There will be moderate but manageable pain, swelling, and stiffness during recovery that is controlled with medication.
Swelling and bruising peaks after 3-5 days. A liquid or soft food diet is required for 6-8 weeks. Normal activity can resume after 2-3 weeks. Total healing takes 3-4 months.
Risks include nerve damage, infection, bleeding, relapse requiring revision surgery, and extended recovery time. An experienced surgeon reduces risks through proper planning.
