Orthognathic Surgery (Corrective Jaw Surgery, Jaw Surgery) is a complicated procedure that requires meticulous planning due to the complexities of occlusion (the way the teeth bite) and the combined impact on the facial appearance when teeth and jaws are moved. Due to the scope of the task, a collaborative approach is used. An orthodontist and oral surgeon are part of the team, as are the general dentist and other dental professionals such as periodontists and endodontists.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery deals with surgeries related to the upper and lower jaws. Maxillofacial surgeons undergo extensive training in the treatment of conditions related to the maxilla and the mandible. It can range from cosmetic jaw surgery to the treatment of injuries caused by trauma.
There was a time in the past when cosmetic treatment was prohibitively expensive and could only be afforded by the very wealthy. Facial cosmetic surgery including rhinoplasty and cosmetic jaw surgery has become more affordable in modern times. This was following establishment of a connection between the mental well being of a person and facial deformity correction through medical research.

Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons have always played an important role in the development of surgical innovations. The armed forces of India have always boasted of a distinguished medical corps with the strong presence of oral and maxillofacial surgeons. They dealt with repairing injuries caused to the facial region during wartime and have provided valuable service to injured soldiers.
The maxilla and mandible comprise the middle and lower thirds of the face. Facial deformities are more common in the middle and lower third than in the upper third of the face. Jaw deformity surgery is a highly specialized branch of oral and maxillofacial surgery in India.
Experience plays an important role in jaw reconstruction surgery. No jaw is similar to another and the shape of each jaw is heavily influenced by genetics and environmental factors. The structure of the jaws should not only be esthetically appealing but should also perform the all-important functional roles effectively.

Both speech and nutritional intake is affected when there is deformity of the jaws. Deformity of the jaws can include a large upper jaw in relation to a small lower jaw or a small lower jaw in relation to a large upper jaw. Pathologies affecting the jaw joints also affect the function of the jaws.
Experience serves to develop the intuitive feeling in a surgeon as to what would best suit the facial structure of each patient. Using detail imaging studies and the experience gained over decades of operating on similar cases, they are able to map out the surgery beforehand. This enables them to obtain the best possible results for the patient.
