Orthognathic surgery is necessary for improving the location or function of jaws, such as mandibular prognathism, bimaxillary prognathism, or facial asymmetry.

Surgical method: Orthognathic surgery is facial bone surgery during which the upper (maxilla) and lower (mandible) jaws are fractured and moved. Patients’ maxilla and mandible are broken, detached, moved in the right position, and fixed to improve symptoms of abnormal locations of jaws, such as mandibular prognathism or facial asymmetry, or of teeth malocclusion.

By developing Surgery-First Orthognathic Approach for mandibular prognathism, No-Tie orthognathic surgery, V-Line orthognathic surgery etc., ID Hospital demonstrated the upgraded surgical method for orthognathic surgery for patient’s sake

Surgery-First Orthognathic Approach
A surgical method of orthognathic surgery that surgery is performed first and then orthodontic treatment is applied. ID Hospital is the very first hospital which developed and disseminated the concept of ‘Surgery-First Orthognathic Approach – Bracing after Surgery,’ and changed the paradigm of Korean Orthognathic surgery.
