How Will The Recovery Process Be After Orthognathic Surgery?

Post-operative care is very important. In the first days, nutrition is with liquid foods. Usually, liquid-soft diet continues for the first two weeks. The patient uses the chewing function gradually only at the end of the second week. After the operation, orthodontic treatment is continued to fix both the positions of the jaws and the positions of the teeth. Wire treatment takes about 6-12 months. At the end of this period, the brackets are removed and the treatment is terminated.

At the end of the treatment, patients gain a more aesthetic appearance than before the surgery, while speaking and
their chewing gets better. Thus, while the patient experiences an increase in his quality of life, his breathing, if any,
problems are also eliminated.
