Orthognathic surgery generally requires preoperative orthodontics.

Some doctors use "Korean orthodontics" to say that there is no need for pre-hand orthodontics, and they can directly perform surgery and then perform post-hand orthodontics, which is better than traditional orthodontics ... credible.

Korean orthodontics is a concept of stealing. This kind of similar operation was done as early as 20 years ago. They are direct surgery and postoperative orthodontics. Usually, patients who do this, the operation process will be longer than that after preoperative orthodontics, and the postoperative orthodontic time will be longer than that of traditional surgery, which is not credible.

Deep overbite of teeth. Maxillary protrusion and mandibular retraction. Maxillofacial deformity means there must be something wrong with occlusion. Preoperative orthodontics needs to remove tooth compensation, eliminate dry entanglement of jaw movement and prepare for orthognathic surgery.

Some patients in traditional surgery do not need preoperative orthodontics, of course, this is only a small part. I suggest you listen to the advice of orthognathic surgeons in stomatological hospital.

Orthognathic surgery can only be performed in adulthood. You are now 17 years old, and you can have surgery when you are 18 years old after just one year of orthodontics. If you are a high school student now, you can wait until you go to college. You can have a normal maxillofacial region before graduation.

I also have some information about the operation here.

If you have other questions, I hope I can help you.
