FAQs about Orthognathic Surgery in Mexico
What is orthognathic surgery and how does it work?
Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is a procedure where the jaws and teeth are realigned to provide correct bite function and facial harmony. By using 3D digital planning, the orthodontist or maxillofacial surgeon carefully repositions the jaws to repair bite disorders, breathing problems, and facial asymmetry. All in hopes of enhancing aesthetics and comfort.
Who is a good candidate for corrective jaw surgery?
You are a good fit if you have bite misalignment, chronic jaw pain, difficulty chewing or speaking, or breathing difficulties caused by jaw position. Orthognathic surgery is also ideal for patients who want to improve facial balance and confidence after orthodontic treatment.
How long does jaw surgery recovery take?
Most patients recover within 2–3 weeks, enough to return to work or travel. Complete healing of the jaws can take 3–6 months, depending on the type of jaw surgery and individual factors. Swelling and minor discomfort are normal and gradually improve each week.
Is it safe to travel for orthognathic surgery?
Yes, Mexico is a leading destination for medical tourism, having fully certified maxillofacial surgeons and state-of-the-art surgical facilities. Our clinic provides pre-surgery planning support, recovery accommodations, and post-op check-ups to ensure a safe and comfortable experience during your stay.
How much does jaw surgery in Mexico cost?
On average, orthognathic jaw surgery in Mexico costs 50–70% less than in the US. Prices vary depending on the complexity and whether it’s a double jaw surgery or combined with a chin procedure. You’ll receive a personalized estimate after your virtual consultation.
Can insurance cover part of it?
Some international or private insurance plans may cover a portion if the surgery is medically necessary (e.g., for bite correction or breathing issues). Our team can provide detailed documentation and imaging reports to help you with your claim.
Can orthognathic surgery improve sleep apnea or breathing problems?
Yes. Orthognathic surgery (corrective jaw surgery) can reposition the upper and lower jaws to open the airway and improve breathing during sleep. Many patients with sleep apnea or chronic snoring experience significant improvement or complete relief after surgery.
