ORTHOGNathic
Evolutionary Orthognathic Surgery
ORTHOGNathic is an advanced surgical technique that enhances facial structure and dental occlusion by blending traditional orthognathic surgery with minimally invasive methods and mandibular contouring. This approach improves function and aesthetics, offering a comprehensive solution for correcting facial and jaw deformities.
PREDICTABILITY
Investment in the latest 3D technologies provides predictable, reliable and natural results.
HIDDEN INCISIONS
Intra-oral incisions mean scarring is invisible to the naked eye.
RECOGNITION and TRUST
ORTHOGNathic has been internationally recognised by the scientific community as a pioneering technique for the correction of facial bone deformities that affect the breathing or bite.
ORTHOGNathic, Ultimate Surgical Fusion of Aesthetic Appeal and Functionality
Also referred to as maxillofacial sculpting, modern orthognathic surgery is a fusion of pioneering reconstruction technologies and the extensive skill and experience of our renowned team.
Virtual planning using specially designed software enables us to measure and stimulate each individual movement during the surgery. This mapping is used to create bespoke surgical templates with millimetric precision and accuracy that can be used to ensure predictability from the start.
ORTHOGNathic is a masterclass in advanced bone surgery at both functional and cosmetic levels, where the focus is on restoring proportions, symmetry and confidence in your appearance.
Potential achievements with ORTHOGNathic include:
- Correction of retrognathia (short jaw) which can cause a convex facial profile, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) and sleep apnoea;
- Correction of prognathism (protruding jaw) where the lower jaw extends too far from the upper jaw, causing bite and cosmetic issues;
- Minimising the appearance of an excessively large chin (hypermentonism);
- Alteration of mandibular asymmetry (laterognatia).
What to expect from your facial bone surgery
ORTHOGNathic is a revolutionary facial bone surgery concept that has been developed and refined by our surgical team. Your procedure will be carried out using a general anaesthetic, enabling you to be asleep for the whole duration of your surgery.
Every ORTHOGNathic procedure is tailored to the unique needs and desires of our clients. Meeting with our team will give you an opportunity to discuss your hopes and expectations for treatment, while our investment in the latest diagnostic and imaging tools ensures we can plan your evolution with unrivalled accuracy and care.
Our methods are designed to protect key nerves to preserve feeling and function and ultimately reduce the risk of complications and side effects. Whenever possible, all incisions will be made inside the mouth to avoid any visible scarring.
ORTHOGNathic Results
As with any facial bone surgery, healing takes time and patience. The minimally invasive nature of our surgical techniques keeps wounds and the need for wound care to a minimum. However, swelling is a natural part of the healing process, whose duration may exceed several months before inflammation subsides and the final results are revealed.
ORTHOGNathic is a highly advanced approach to correcting the function and appearance of the mouth and jaw related to poor bone development or dental occlusion.

ORTHOGNathic® relies on a combination of extensive skill and experience, and investment in the most advanced surgical technologies.
See the future, be the future
Thanks to our investment in the latest 3D planning imaging and software, we can precisely simulate and predict your orthognathic surgery so that you can see exactly how we can evolve your facial structure to improve function and appearance. Using our technology, we can create surgical cutting guides that ensure your procedure is performed with unrivalled accuracy and stay faithful to our pre-planned design. We can also ensure that we avoid accidental damage to key nerves and respect and preserve neighbouring tissues and structures.The latest surgical tools
An ultrasound scalpel guarantees the cleanest and most concise incisions in mineralised tissues, such as bone. Such unparalleled precision and accuracy ensure that surrounding soft tissues are left untouched, contributing to the exemplary safety profile of the procedure and reducing the risk of postoperative complications and side effects. -
The realm of Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery (MIOS), characterised by judiciously diminished approaches and the employment of sophisticated techniques alongside specialised instruments, yields markedly abbreviated recovery durations in comparison to conventional orthognathic surgery.
Through the adept application of these avant-garde methodologies, a solitary night of hospital sojourn suffices to ensure ample repose post-intervention, facilitated by intravenous administration of pain-alleviating and anti-inflammatory medications.
Immediate Recovery
Following your inaugural night within the hospital confines and guided by our adept nursing team, well-versed in imparting essential self-care insights for the initial days, you shall find yourself ready to transition back to your residence or accommodation. A mere day post-surgery will witness your ability to converse, dine, and ambulate nearly as usual, meticulously following our directives.
In the immediate convalescence period, we emphasise four pivotal tenets: assiduous management of discomfort and inflammation through medication, coupled with compression and lymphatic drainage; adherence to a regimen of wholesome nutrition; meticulous hygiene practices; and the prompt initiation of recuperative physiotherapy.
To mitigate the reintegration stress into your professional endeavours, we advocate a hiatus of a couple or three weeks from work.
In 10 days after the surger, we orchestrate alternating consultations with your orthodontist, who shall recommence the fine-tuning of dental occlusion.
Gradually, as autonomy burgeons, the resumption of your quotidian life, including work and physical exercise, becomes a possibility contingent upon your individual progression. Typically, a convalescence period of 4-6 weeks is advised.
Long-Term Recovery
The convalescent trajectory endures beyond a year, demanding a composed demeanor as the structural metamorphosis evolves gradually. In the grand tapestry of this protracted journey, the surgical interlude represents a fleeting 15-day episode, etching itself into the annals as an anecdotal chapter of the newfound you sought.
Our postoperative division remains attuned and accessible through electronic channels. Optionally, comprehensive evaluations may be orchestrated at intervals of one month, three months, six months, and a year, facilitating a sagacious evaluation of the transformation, punctuated by substantial settling.

Surgery, conjoined with general anaesthesia, inherently ushers in potential complexities meticulously outlined in the exhaustive informed consents meticulously provided to our esteemed patients.
In Orthognathics, a culmination of years of expertise and a trajectory towards Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery (MIOS), a commendable testament to our proficiency is the minimal incidence of complications, standing at an enviable rate of less than a mere 2%. Our revision rate stands at approximately 1%.
Postoperatively, the imperative task of optimising occlusion and dental positioning falls under the purview of your orthodontist, executed under the vigilant supervision of your surgical team. In the immediate postoperative phase, a meticulous evaluation through a new CAT scan ensures the precise execution of the planned interventions.
While conceivable, post-surgical minor adversities, including swelling, bleeding, and bruising, are scrupulously managed through prompt medical interventions. Transient numbness and other minor sequelae of the surgical endeavour gradually wane over time.
Predominant complications, albeit infrequent, include nerve paresthesia (transient: >6 weeks, 20-25%; definitive: >2 years without change, <1%), palpable steps in the mandibular profile (5%), intolerance to osteosynthesis materials (miniplates and screws, <5%), surgical wound superinfection (1%), and reintervention (<1%).
The customary window for complication detection spans the initial post-surgery week. For your tranquillity, we seamlessly extend comprehensive medical insurance coverage, adeptly addressing unforeseen medical exigencies in Barcelona/Marbella.
