Correct Jaw Misalignment with Precision Surgery
When braces alone just can’t fix a bite problem, corrective jaw surgery also called orthognathic surgery repositions the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, to bring everything back into proper alignment. Greater Washington Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery performs jaw correction surgery at four Northern Virginia locations, working closely with your orthodontist from the first planning session all the way through recovery.
This isn’t just about how things look, though a lot of patients do notice real changes in facial balance too. Corrective jaw surgery deals with actual functional problems trouble chewing, chronic jaw pain, speech issues, breathing difficulties that trace back to how your jaws fit together. If your orthodontist or dentist has already brought up jaw surgery, or you’ve been living with a bite that never quite lined up right, our board-certified surgeons can help you figure out whether it’s actually the right path for you.

Not every bite problem needs surgery, and honestly, that’s a fair question to ask before committing to anything. Orthodontics alone can fix a lot of alignment issues, especially when they’re caught early. Surgery tends to become the right call when:
The jaw discrepancy is too significant for braces or aligners to handle on their own
Facial growth is complete, so surgical results will actually hold long-term
Functional issues chewing, speech, breathing, chronic TMJ pain — are still there despite orthodontic treatment
At your consultation, we’ll give you an honest read on whether surgery’s really necessary for your case, or whether a non-surgical route could get you where you want to go.
when the upper jaw or teeth protrude noticeably beyond the lower jaw
when the lower jaw sticks out further than the upper jaw
when the upper and lower teeth don’t meet even with the jaw fully closed
when one side of the jaw has grown differently than the other
in some cases, corrective jaw surgery for TMJ can relieve chronic jaw pain and joint dysfunction tied to misalignment
for certain patients, repositioning the jaw can help open the airway as part of a broader sleep apnea treatment plan
Recovery Timeline
Does corrective jaw surgery hurt?
The cost of corrective jaw surgery swings quite a bit depending on how complex your case is, whether one jaw or both are involved, and your specific insurance plan. Since this procedure addresses actual functional problems not just appearance it’s often at least partially covered by medical or dental insurance when medical necessity is documented, though coverage (Medicaid included, where it applies) really comes down to your individual plan.
We’d recommend a consultation to get an accurate estimate for your situation, plus help understanding what your insurance will and won’t cover. We also offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry, so treatment stays manageable regardless of your coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on how complex your case is, whether one or both jaws need correcting, and your insurance coverage. We’ll give you a personalized estimate after your consultation.
Often, at least partially, when the procedure’s addressing a functional issue rather than just appearance. Coverage varies by plan, so we help verify your specific benefits before treatment starts.
Most patients are back to work or school within two to three weeks, with healing and orthodontic adjustments continuing over several months, and full bone healing around nine to twelve months.
For milder cases, orthodontics alone might be enough. If you’re not a candidate for surgery or would rather avoid it, we’ll walk you through what realistic alternatives exist — and their limitations, honestly.
In most cases, yes. Orthodontic treatment usually comes first, to align the teeth within each jaw, then continues afterward to fine-tune the final bite.
