The surgery aims to realign the jaws and teeth to improve their function and aesthetic appearance. Jaw surgery is usually performed after the growth stops, which is around ages 14 to 16 years for females and 17 to 21 years for males. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so there is no pain during surgery.
