Orthognathic Surgery is a corrective jaw surgery used to treat and correct abnormalities of the facial bones.
These problems usually arise from a size discrepancy between the upper and lower jaw bones creating bite problems and negative effects on facial esthetics.
Also, abnormalities like these typically cause a variety of difficulties associated with chewing, talking, sleeping, and other routine activities.
So, correcting these jaw discrepancies with orthodontics and orthognathic surgery will lead to a healthy bite and well balanced facial profile.
Orthognathic surgery is always done in combination with orthodontic treatment.

If you are experiencing any of the issues above, you may be a candidate for Orthognathic surgery.
Please schedule a consultation with one of our doctors and we would be happy to provide full information and guide you step by step through this process.
During your first consultation at City Orthodontics, Dr. Kimos will inform you if combined orthodontic and surgical treatment is among your treatment options.
Therefore, as an initial step, you will be recommended to have a consultation with one of our oral surgeons to outline your treatment plan and also so you can learn more details about surgery.
You will start with orthodontics (braces or Invisalign).
Your surgery will be scheduled during treatment (usually a few months into treatment) once our doctors and your surgeon feel that your bite is ready for jaw surgery.
After surgery is done you will continue your braces or Invisalign treatment at City Orthodontics to fine tune and detail your smile.
The results of orthognathic surgery are incredibly positive from a functional, esthetic and self esteem point of view. Our patients usually express how happy they are to have taken this step as part of their treatment.

Most patients need about 2 to 4 weeks off work or school after surgery, with full healing continuing over the following months. At City Orthodontics, Dr. Kimos and your surgical team will walk you through what to expect at every stage of recovery.
Orthognathic surgery may be partially covered by OHIP when it's considered medically necessary. The team at City Orthodontics can help you understand your coverage and guide you through the process with your surgeon and insurer.
Most patients experience swelling and some discomfort during the first week after surgery, which is managed with prescribed pain medication. Our City Orthodontics team monitors your recovery closely to keep you comfortable throughout the process.
The full treatment, including pre-surgical orthodontics, the surgery itself, and post-surgical adjustments, typically takes 12 to 24 months. Dr. Kimos and the City Orthodontics team will create a personalized timeline based on your specific case.
