Orthognathic surgery

At the first assessment, we review the bite, the relationship between the upper and lower jaws, facial proportions and any symptoms or functional limitations. We also review available tests and decide whether further investigations are needed before proposing a treatment plan.

Assessment takes place within the Face Clinic Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit. When orthodontics is required, the case is also coordinated with the orthodontic team to plan tooth position and surgical movements together.

If you already have X-rays, CT scans, cephalometric studies, photographs, dental scans or orthodontic reports, please bring them with you. The specialist will then decide whether they are sufficient or whether additional tests are needed to complete planning.

The cost depends on the complexity of the case, whether single-jaw or bimaxillary surgery is required, the hospital, anaesthesia, surgical planning and any associated orthodontic treatment. As an indicative reference for private treatment in Spain, the combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgery process may be around €16,000. This is not a Face Clinic fee. After assessing your case, we provide a personalised quotation.

The quotation is prepared according to the treatment indicated and sets out the items relating to the surgical procedure. Depending on the case, it may include planning, surgical team fees, anaesthesia, hospital stay and surgical materials. If orthodontic treatment is also required, its planning and cost are explained separately.

Not necessarily. Surgery and orthodontics are separate stages of treatment and their cost depends on each patient’s needs. When a combined approach is required, both teams coordinate planning so the patient understands the expected stages and costs from the outset.

Yes. Face Clinic offers finance options, subject to the lender’s terms and approval. Once the quotation has been prepared, our team can explain the available options and possible payment plans.

Consultations, assessment and follow-up can take place at the relevant Face Clinic locations. Orthognathic surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and is scheduled in an appropriate hospital setting according to the treatment plan and the patient’s needs.

There is no single timescale. It depends on the investigations required, the type of surgery and, in particular, whether pre-surgical orthodontics is needed. After the first assessment, we can outline the expected stages and an approximate treatment timeline.

Yes. You can request an assessment at Face Clinic even if you already have a diagnosis or treatment proposal from another centre. Please bring any available scans, reports and planning so the surgeon can review the case and provide an independent opinion.

Patients living in another city or abroad can ask about an initial medical video consultation. This allows the specialist to review the medical history and available documentation and provide initial guidance before arranging an in-person assessment and any necessary diagnostic tests.

If surgery is indicated, we explain the proposed treatment, required tests, any orthodontic coordination, expected stages and quotation. Planning is then organised before a surgical date is agreed.
