Should you get jaw surgery purely for cosmetic reasons? The answer is more nuanced than you’d think. Dr. Bobek breaks down how surgeons evaluate these requests, what “medically necessary” really means, and why the answer depends .

While custom vs. stock plates dominates the fixation conversation, does screw design deserve some attention too?

In dentistry, thread pitch and screw geometry are well established as clinically relevant. Dental implant literature covers this in depth. That conversation seems to disappear once we move into maxillofacial surgery.

Here's a look at why thread pitch and screw design vary more than expected between systems, and why that nuance matters in cases with thin maxillary bone.

This patient presented with a progressively shifting lower jaw and underbite due to condylar hyperplasia, a condition where continued growth on one side of the jaw joint causes the jaw and bite to shift out of alignment, confirmed by a bone scan prior to surgical planning.

Treatment included a segmental LeFort I (upper jaw), bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (lower jaw), and skeletal anchors. He has since completed orthodontics, is back to a normal diet, and reported no pain or numbness.

Cleared for jaw surgery? Here's exactly what comes next. 🗓️

Once your orthodontist clears you, the road to surgery day follows four clear steps, and knowing the timeline ahead of time makes the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming.

1. Recall (2–3 months out): Dr. Bobek confirms you're ready, we review your financial estimate, and we check prior authorization.

2. Records (4–6 weeks out): We collect the imaging for your Virtual Surgical Plan. Your orthodontist should have all adjustments done by this point.

3. Pre-Operative (10–14 days out): You'll meet our PA, Andrea, to go over recovery instructions and review your final surgical plan.

4. Surgery & Recovery: Follow-ups at 1, 3, and 6 weeks and 6 months are all included in your cost.
