Jaw Correction Surgery for Adults in Dubai

Surgical-Orthodontic Treatment for Bite Correction, Facial Balance & Long-Term Stability

Do you have an underbite, overbite, facial asymmetry, difficulty chewing or a jaw position that affects your appearance and function? While braces and clear aligners can correct many orthodontic problems, some adults have underlying jaw discrepancies that cannot be fully treated through tooth movement alone.

At AQR Orthodontics, we provide comprehensive surgical-orthodontic treatment planning for adults requiring jaw correction surgery (orthognathic surgery) in Dubai. By combining advanced orthodontics with specialist oral and maxillofacial surgery, we help create a healthier relationship between the teeth, jaws and facial structures.

Improve Jaw Balance, Bite Function & Facial Harmony

What Is Jaw Correction Surgery?

Jaw correction surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialist surgical procedure used to reposition the upper jaw, lower jaw or both jaws when there is a significant skeletal imbalance. It may be recommended when the jaws do not align properly, and braces or aligners alone cannot fully correct the bite.

Many adults in Dubai search for ways to fix jaw alignment using braces, Invisalign or a jaw alignment device. In mild to moderate cases, orthodontic treatment may help improve the bite. However, when the problem is skeletal, corrective jaw surgery to align teeth and jaws may be needed to create a stable, functional and balanced result.

Every jaw correction case at AQR Orthodontics is carefully planned using facial analysis, bite assessment, digital records and collaboration with a specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Dubai.

When Can Jaw Correction Surgery Be Beneficial?

1Severe Jaw Discrepancies

When the upper and lower jaws are significantly out of position, orthodontics alone may not be sufficient to achieve an ideal bite and facial balance.

2Underbite & Overbite Correction

Jaw surgery may help correct severe skeletal Class II and Class III jaw relationships where the discrepancy originates from jaw size or position rather than tooth alignment alone.

3Open Bite Correction

In adults with skeletal open bites, surgical repositioning of the jaws may be necessary to achieve proper tooth contact and long-term bite stability.

4Facial Asymmetry

Uneven jaw growth may cause the chin, smile or lower face to appear shifted. Jaw correction surgery can help improve facial symmetry and balance.

5Improved Chewing & Function

Correcting jaw relationships may improve chewing efficiency, bite force distribution and overall oral function.

6Enhanced Facial Profile

Repositioning the jaws can improve facial proportions, profile balance and overall facial harmony while maintaining a natural appearance

7Airway & Breathing Considerations

In selected patients, jaw advancement procedures may contribute to improved airway dimensions and form part of a broader multidisciplinary approach to airway management.

8Long-Term Stability

Correcting the underlying skeletal discrepancy often provides a more stable and predictable result compared to attempting camouflage treatment with orthodontics alone.

Find Out Whether Orthodontics Alone Is Enough

Types of Jaw Correction Surgery

Every surgical case is unique. The choice of procedure depends on the patient’s jaw relationship, facial proportions, bite discrepancy and treatment objectives.

1Upper Jaw Surgery (Maxillary Surgery)

Performed when the upper jaw requires repositioning to improve bite alignment, facial balance, smile aesthetics or vertical jaw relationships.

2Lower Jaw Surgery (Mandibular Surgery)

Used to reposition the lower jaw when it is excessively prominent, retruded or asymmetrical.

3Double Jaw Surgery (Bimaxillary Surgery)

Involves repositioning both the upper and lower jaws simultaneously and is often recommended for more complex skeletal discrepancies requiring comprehensive correction.

4Jaw Advancement Procedures

Advancement surgery moves one or both jaws forward to improve bite relationships, facial support and, in selected cases, airway dimensions.

5Jaw Reduction or Setback Procedures

These procedures move a jaw backward when excessive jaw prominence contributes to bite imbalance or facial disproportions.

6Surgery-First Orthodontics

In carefully selected patients, surgery may be performed before comprehensive orthodontic treatment. This modern approach can provide earlier facial improvement and may shorten overall treatment duration in suitable cases.

How Surgical-Orthodontic Treatment Works

1Orthodontic Preparation

Braces or clear aligners are used to position the teeth correctly within each jaw before surgery, ensuring the jaws can fit together properly after repositioning.

2Orthognathic Surgery

The surgical phase is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who repositions the upper jaw, lower jaw or both jaws according to the treatment plan.

3Orthodontic Finishing

After healing, orthodontic treatment continues to refine the bite, optimise tooth alignment and improve long-term stability.

4Digital Planning & Multidisciplinary Care

At AQR Orthodontics, treatment planning incorporates digital records, facial analysis, smile assessment and close coordination with specialist surgical teams to ensure predictable and personalised outcomes.

Which Jaw Correction Approach Is Right for You?

Is Jaw Correction Surgery Right for You?

Not every jaw discrepancy requires surgery. Many bite problems can be successfully treated with braces or clear aligners alone, while others may benefit from orthodontic camouflage treatment.

At AQR Orthodontics, Dr. AQR uses comprehensive clinical examination, facial analysis, digital diagnostics and skeletal assessment to determine whether orthodontic treatment alone or a combined surgical-orthodontic approach is most appropriate.

Our goal is to recommend the least invasive treatment capable of delivering a healthy bite, balanced facial aesthetics and long-term stability.

I had my wisdom tooth extracted by Dr. Abdulqadir, and the experience was incredibly smooth. He also treated both my daughters for their stubborn milk teeth that wouldn’t fall out on their own.

What truly stood out was his attention to detail and how carefully he observed our reactions throughout the process. He was so patient and kind, and made sure we felt calm and comfortable every step of the way. Even when we were nervous, he maintained his composure and reassured us constantly, which helped ease our anxiety.

Thanks to his gentle approach, the entire experience was pain-free and stress-free. Truly grateful for the care and professionalism he showed to me and my girls.

FAQs

1. Is jaw correction surgery safe?

Orthognathic surgery is a well-established and routinely performed procedure for correcting jaw and facial imbalances. Like any surgery, there are risks such as infection, nerve sensitivity or swelling, but with proper planning and experienced surgical care, outcomes are generally predictable and safe.

2. Will there be pain after the surgery?

Most patients experience swelling, tightness and mild to moderate discomfort during the initial recovery phase rather than severe pain. Discomfort is usually managed with medication and gradually improves over a few weeks as healing progresses.

3. Is jaw surgery a permanent solution, or can relapse occur?

Jaw surgery aims for long-term stability, but minor changes or relapse can occur over time due to healing, muscle adaptation or growth-related factors. Modern techniques have significantly improved stability, and most procedures are considered highly stable with low rates of noticeable relapse.

4. Why is orthodontic treatment needed before and after surgery?

Jaw correction surgery is not a standalone procedure. Braces or aligners are required before surgery to position the teeth correctly and after surgery to fine-tune the bite for a stable, comfortable and functional result.

5. How long does the entire treatment process take?

The full treatment timeline typically ranges from 12–24 months or more, including pre-surgical orthodontics, the surgery itself and post-surgical finishing. This is a staged process designed for long-term stability rather than quick results.

6. Can jaw surgery improve facial appearance as well as the bite?

Yes. Jaw alignment surgeries are designed to improve facial balance, profile aesthetics and symmetry along with functional bite correction, as jaw position, teeth alignment and facial structure are closely connected.

7. Is this a quick cosmetic procedure?

No, this is a comprehensive medical, surgical and orthodontic treatment. It involves detailed planning, coordinated orthodontic care and surgical precision, rather than a quick cosmetic fix.

8. What is different about your jaw correction approach in Jumeira, Dubai?

Our approach is strongly diagnosis-driven, focusing on detailed records, facial and skeletal analysis, and proper case selection. We integrate orthodontic planning with surgical goals and collaborate with maxillofacial surgeons to support functional, stable and aesthetic outcomes, not just cosmetic correction.
