      Orthognathic Surgery for Sleep Apnea

      Harmony MC24 March 2025

      Sleep apnea is a serious condition that disrupts breathing during sleep, leading to fatigue, poor health, and even life-threatening complications. While CPAP machines and oral appliances help many patients, orthognathic surgery (jaw correction surgery) offers a permanent solution for those with severe cases caused by jaw misalignment.

      At Harmony, our expert Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons specialize in jaw correction surgery to improve airway function and restore restful sleep.

      How Orthognathic Surgery Helps Sleep Apnea

      Orthognathic surgery involves repositioning the upper and/or lower jaw to enlarge the airway, reducing obstruction and improving airflow. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients with:

      • Recessed jaw (retrognathia) that causes airway blockage
      • Severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) not responding to conservative treatments
      • Narrow airway structure leading to chronic breathing issues

      Benefits of Jaw Surgery for Sleep Apnea

      Permanent Airway Expansion

      By moving the jaws forward, the airway is physically enlarged, reducing obstruction and allowing for uninterrupted breathing during sleep.

      Elimination of CPAP Dependence

      Many patients no longer need CPAP therapy after surgery, experiencing natural, device-free breathing at night.

      Better Sleep and Improved Health

      A restored airway leads to deeper sleep, reducing fatigue, cardiovascular risks, and other health complications associated with sleep apnea.

      Enhanced Facial Harmony and Function

      In addition to improving breathing, orthognathic surgery enhances jaw alignment, leading to aesthetic and functional benefits.

      The Surgical Process

      • Comprehensive Evaluation – 3D imaging and sleep studies assess the airway and jaw position.
      • Personalized Treatment Planning – A customized surgical approach is designed for optimal airway correction.
      • Surgical Jaw Repositioning – The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, with precise jaw movements guided by advanced technology.
      • Recovery & Follow-Up – Post-surgery care includes monitoring, physical therapy, and gradual adaptation to the new jaw position.

      Is Orthognathic Surgery Right for You?

      This surgery is ideal for patients with jaw-related sleep apnea who have not found relief with other treatments. If you experience severe snoring, frequent waking, or daytime drowsiness, a consultation with our Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons can determine if jaw correction surgery is the right solution for you.
