Before starting the blog, you must know that jaw surgery is also known as orthognathic surgery. These works are done to enhance the work process of your jawbone and complete the jaw structure. We should not forget that it also improves our facial structure.

This surgery is quite a common one among celebrities, so you can understand that jaw surgery is an expensive one. Though it is costly , it has certain benefits which are truly amazing. It can solve various oral diseases at the same time gives a different kind of looks.



Orthognathic surgery has no such risk factors to be worried about, so far. The doctor especially uses different types of screws, wires and plates. But just like every surgery, some risky things are associated only with bleeding, anesthesia, internal infections, scarring, severe pain etc.

Moving forward to the reasons why you may need jaw surgery,
