Corrective Jaw Surgery Recovery & Cost {Dentist REVIEW of Orthognathic Surgery}

In this dental vlog, Dr. Sami talks all about orthognathic surgery ( corrective jaw surgery ). We answer the following questions: How long is the jaw surgery recovery? How much does jaw surgery cost? How do we correct an underbite with jaw surgery? Is it possible to do jaw surgery for overbites?
I also share my experience with corrective jaw surgery (before & after photos) which I hope helps someone out there make a better informed decision about their health

I’m 17 and getting corrective jaw surgery to fix my sever underbite after I get my braces off. Can’t wait because I’m in high school and I get a lot of looks and comments because of my facial structure and I’m really insecure about it. This video was very helpful, thank you🙏👏

[@dorasdoublejawsurgeryjourney]

I’m getting double jaw surgery next month, and have the same problem as you had, with only one point in my mouth touching when I bite down. Most of the movement in my surgery will be bringing my top jaw forward, and then bringing my lower jaw back just a bit. I might also have to have my upper jaw widened (which I’m hoping won’t be the case). At just 17 years old, this surgery used to be pretty daunting to me, but considering I’ve already been waiting 10 years for the day to come, I am more than ready for it. I appreciate this video and thank you for sharing your experience!

I've been waiting for this surgery since I was 12 that was ten years ago when I decided it was what I wanted I cried infront of everyone in the orthodontist because it meant alot to me to be able to look forward to having my perfect bite and not have to strain my bottom jaw backwards since having braces my bites been worsened alot and not I can't wait to feel what a regular bite feels like or to not struggle to eat foot I also have a 'cant' so I always eat on one side of my mouth I will be having my 'cant' fixed aswell as my upper jaw moved forwards and my bottom jaw moved backwards I'm hoping to get the surgery next year as I've had braces for 4 years now and it's a long time coming I can't express how excited I am but also very nervous I've watched alot of videos on it and have recognised its not going to be easy I weigh 100pounds naturally and cannot gain weight so I hope this goes as smooth as possible I will most likely constantly be eating when I'm out of surgery to try and keep a healthy weight or the weight my body allows me to have as I have a fast metabolism I appreciate you taking the time to make this video as its really be helpful to me

I had braces 23 yrs ago and I refuse to get this surgery and implant. So dentist closed the space in my mouth with braces and corrected my underbite. However, fast forward now I wish I had the surgery, if you have the money and family support I say go for it so you don’t regret like I do.

[@stoutypouty]

i have just completed my double jaw alignment surgery and genioplasty done 3 days ago. honestly it wasn’t as daunting as it would be. i literally cant wait to improve my speech and bite (i’ve never been able to bite with my front teeth and only my molars) the swelling is scaring me right now though. my lips are all so swollen and i’m afraid of the after care and how to maintain great oral hygiene. i want to believe this is the best decision i’ve made for myself so i’m here looking for some moral support. thanks for sharing your pov!

[@SmileInfluencers]

I’m sure the healing process will go great. It takes a lot of time to get comfortable with chewing and speaking! Be patient and good luck!

How is it now❓

[@miniweeddeerz1820]

How are you?

[@visionvixxen]

So good to hear this. Mine is in two weeks and my family is pretty anti. I’m worried. Thanks for your post.

[@visionvixxen]

I am so bummed because one doctor two doctors who specialize in North agnostic has wanted to move my jaw, a little bit upper jaw forwards and lower job back a little bit, but one is also a crane your facial surgeon said aesthetically. It would be worse and a lot of surgeons like to do this to make it easier on themselves, but he would move the top jaw forward more and leave the lower jawnow I’m bummed about this because it’s also alignment. It wasn’t just. I mean it had to do with the width of my pallet and anyways.

[@enricomonti3003]

Hi Sami, sorry for another question, what do you think about the Carriere Motion for class III malocclusions? Is it an option to consider as an alternative to the double jaw surgery? Are there any studies that prove the efficiency of this tool?

[@kzfingerprint]

Thank you!

[@Currency84]

Just had my upper jaw realignment. I had a severe over bite that braces alone couldn't fix. I'm on day 4 post op. Truth be told, the recovery the first 4 days has been really really hard. We'll see how it goes.

[@JulianSnow]

Well you’re 2 weeks recovered now, congrats! How you doing?

[@Currency84]

@JulianSnow Much better. My cheeks are still swollen but the pain has disappeared. The first 4-5 days are by far the hardest part of this process. I'm still on a soft diet but overall I've progressed quite well.

[@ranakashyap9303]

How painful was it? Was it bearable? I have underbite but I am too scared to get the surgery done.

Hello, palate also has the ability to taste. Then, do you not feel the taste in palate? I recently lost the ability to taste with my tongue for some reason. Taste only with palate. And I am considering mma surgery for apnea and I am afraid that I will lose my last taste buds, palate.

[@olisaprice9870]

Great video

[@samaawatches]

Your experience is basically the same as mine ! My orthodontist also pushed my teeth to the front to make it look like I have a normal bite. My surgeon told me he will first make my upper jaw wider, making it possible for my front teeth to go further back, after that he will perform a surgery to push my jaw forward. I look forward to it even though it is going to be uncomfortable. Can’t wait to be able to breathe through my nose and have a balanced face.

[@doranritzman30]

Is it normal for you braces to be stuck in your cheeks and caught on some of the stitches while everything’s swollen? After it’s all over will there be a lot of scar tissue in mouth afterwards

The majority of the swelling went down after three months but I don’t think it was completely clear until after a year. I would definitely consult with your surgeon if you still have some swelling to make sure everything is healing as it needs to be. Thanks for the comment Tay Good!

Hi, I actually very nervous to I can even say scary to do the jaw surgery. I been today in the orthodontist and ask me the do this surgery to make my jaw wider and fix my bite only in my left side. I don’t know how I’m going to to convince my self to do so. Especially I heard I bad story when I was a child my neighbour had this surgery then passed away after that. Please I want some advice for that.

[@visionvixxen]

Oh no! I did not need to hear this. Will be praying for the right answer for you. I have surgery in two weeks so scared to hear this

[@Priva_C]

Can you elaborate the part where you mentioned “feminine features” when moving the jaw back ? What kind of features? I recently had jaw surgery and I believe they did that. I’m too swollen to see any results

[@visionvixxen]

Moving your job back, kind of squares the way your face and shortens your face, giving the appearance of a short and weak chin. Hallmarks of masculinity often times look like prognathism angular, jaw, or a jaw that jets out so when you make the jaw receded or move it back or look smaller, this will cause a little bit of a little bit compared to where you’re dry line looks very Chris. All of these factors are extremely feminizing and if you look at his own pictures even now to before he looks a lot more masculine before and this is just the mirror of his Upper forward so yes, this can be a problem if you wanted to correct it you would have to use jaw implants or jaw filler So yes- be mindful . In fact, these are the exact results looked for by people transition from male to female.

[@Maya38438]

25 yrs ago I was offered this surgery and I refused due to being scarred of side effect. I now regret not doing it because I never smile in pictures!

Class 3 and anterior crossbite. Not life threatening but has caused some problems. Finally getting surgery at 50 because of headaches, tooth chipping etc. Necessary, no? Risks- yes huge. Benefits- yes huge and I prob shouldn’t wait until after menopause. I am scared because my family will judge me immensely -/ my boyfriend also. I wish I could tell them they think it’s just braces…. I’m doubting myself now… Wish I never had to do any bite and jaw stuff.

[@EmilyPenwell]

Hello! I had a severe class 3 open underbite and I’m at day 6 in my recovery. It has been pretty rough but I think it’ll be worth it! There is nothing wrong with wanting to improve your quality of life in being able to eat and function properly, and anyone who judges you for that is honestly sad! I wish you the best and hope you choose what is best for you!

[@misslola007]

@@Think_pls So, I had mine done 11 days ago. When I got home, I started using the perc med I was prescribed every 6h. It lasted me a week and after that I switched to 2 advil every 6h (as recommended on the bottle). Every person pain tolerance is different, so take it as long as you need it. I had my first post op visit and the next one is 5 weeks after that. I'm not sure if it's different for every practice but for me, I have the surgeons cell phone number in case of emergency or if I have questions. It's good to have that but never used that emergency numb. Right now, I take the advil every 7h or so. If you think Advil or Tylenol is not working for you, check with your surgeon for other options. Hope that helps.

[@sharlenebantigue8831]

I am using veneers in my upper teeth

[@dorasdoublejawsurgeryjourney]

It is possible without braces! However, your surgeon will most likely require you to have some type of braces prior to surgery, to ensure your teeth fit together perfectly. I’m getting double jaw surgery next month, and I’ve been going through Invisalign treatment for the last year and a half. Came to find out two days ago that I might not even be wearing my Invisalign for a few weeks after surgery. Meaning: I will have surgical hooks screwed into my gums, in order to either rubber band, or wire my mouth shut after surgery. So yes, there are alternatives to having wire braces with jaw surgery, but only a surgeon or orthodontist could help you find what would work best for you with your veneers. Hope this helps!
