Or maybe your dentist told you your upper jaw needs a little nudge forward, backward, or to the side to fix your bite?
Well, hello, and welcome! Before we discuss the real truth about upper jaw surgery cost in South India, it’s fair to say that new smiles are priceless; but still, your wallet or bank account probably deserves a little heads up too.
What Is Upper Jaw Surgery?

Your potential surgical case may address any or all of the following upper jaw needs:
Upper jaw expansion surgery – widening your upper jaw to either properly align the upper jaw, improve bite function, or improve breathing.

So whether your concerns are about function (can’t chew right), fashion (want a balanced face), or both upper jaw surgery is the answer.
Why Would Anyone Consider Upper Jaw Surgery?
Well, aside from the desire to chew normally again, here are the reasons why:
- Bites like Crossbite, Open Bite, or Underbite.
- Articulation or breathing issues from jaw structure, particularly nasal obstruction.

What is Included in the Pricing?
Let’s unpack what contributes to the cost of upper jaw surgery to see where your funds are allocated (and to understand that it is not just a “doctor’s fee”).

- Surgeon’s Fee: A highly skilled surgeon will charge more, but they will also be more precise and safe.
- Antibiotics, painkillers, and post-operative examinations among the medications and follow-ups that will aid in your recuperation.

- Diagnostic Imaging & Tests: Your surgeon can plan with extreme precision thanks to sophisticated scans.
Upper Jaw Expansion vs Upper Jaw Reduction — Is There a Pricing Difference?
Here it is:
- Upper jaw expansion surgery usually incurs a higher charge because it requires custom devices and distractors to slowly expand your jawbone.
- Upper jaw reduction surgery will likely be somewhat less expensive; however, it must be performed with the utmost precision to prevent over-correcting.
In essence, more expansion will require more hardware and time; less expansion will require less hardware, but the same effort. In any case, your surgeon’s expertise is your best investment.

FAQs
Fortunately, no! You will be asleep for the entirety of the surgery. The discomfort post-surgery is temporary and well controlled with medication.
Most swelling will subside around 2 weeks. Being back to normal chewing and full recovery can take 3 to 6 months.
No! All incisions will be inside of the mouth, and therefore you will not have scars on your face, and you’ll be seeing yourself approximately and the same time!
If the issue is skeletal (bone-related), braces alone will not be effective. Surgery re-aligns the bone placement while braces only perfectly position the teeth.
You want to keep in mind the surgeon’s experience, the reviews of the clinic, and ensure they will do a full report and care after the surgery.
