Maxillofacial and oral surgery encompasses jaw realignment (orthognathic surgery), wisdom tooth removal, facial trauma reconstruction, and TMJ surgery — procedures requiring specialist surgical skill that can cost two to four times more in the West. International patients access board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons in accredited hospitals at substantially lower cost.
Your case is matched to a centre on the basis of clinical outcome data, not marketing. We coordinate every step — from pre-operative work-up to post-treatment follow-up — with a dedicated care coordinator.

This treatment category covers several different operations with different levels of invasiveness, recovery times, and costs. The country averages above blend all of them together — use the breakdown below for a more realistic, procedure-specific estimate.
Orthognathic surgery repositions the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both to correct a severe bite misalignment, facial asymmetry, or airway obstruction that orthodontics alone cannot fix. It is usually performed once braces have aligned the teeth, and the bite is held in its new position afterward with plates and orthodontic elastics rather than jaw wiring.
Typical recovery · 6 weeks initial, up to 1 year full
Hospital stay is typically 1–3 days, with swelling and bruising peaking in the first 48–72 hours. Patients follow a liquid then soft-food diet for several weeks while elastics guide the bite into its new position; most return to work or school within 2–4 weeks, and initial recovery is largely complete by 6 weeks, though full bone remodeling and final results can take up to a year.

A surgical or simple extraction removes one or more impacted, decayed, or crowded wisdom teeth (third molars) before they cause infection or damage neighbouring teeth. It's performed under local anaesthesia, sedation, or general anaesthesia depending on how deeply the tooth is impacted.
Typical recovery · 3–7 days; 2 weeks full
Almost always a same-day outpatient procedure with no overnight stay. Swelling and discomfort peak around day 2–3 and clearly improve within a week, with most patients back to normal activity in 3–7 days; full soft-tissue healing takes about 2 weeks. A soft diet and avoiding straws or smoking for several days lowers the small (2–5%) risk of dry socket, which can add 7–10 days of pain if it occurs.

TMJ arthroscopy inserts a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions near the ear to clean, reposition, or release a damaged jaw-joint disc when medication, splints, and physical therapy haven't relieved pain or restricted movement. More invasive open-joint surgery is reserved for severe structural damage such as ankylosis or a tumour.
Typical recovery · Same day; 2 days–1 week
Arthroscopy is usually a same-day outpatient procedure with no overnight admission. Ice and pain medication control initial swelling and jaw stiffness, and jaw physiotherapy often starts within 48 hours to preserve mobility; most patients resume normal activity within 2 days to a week, alongside a soft diet for 1–2 weeks. Open-joint TMJ surgery instead involves a 1–2 day hospital stay and a longer recovery of several weeks.

Facial trauma and jaw fracture repair realigns and stabilises broken facial bones — most often the mandible — with titanium plates and screws, or occasionally a period of jaw wiring, after an accident or injury. This is typically emergency or urgent surgery rather than a scheduled, elective procedure.
Typical recovery · 4–6 weeks wired; 3–6 months plated
Hospital stay depends on the fracture's severity and any associated injuries, typically 2–5 days. If the jaw is wired shut, this is usually kept in place for 4–6 weeks on a strict liquid then soft diet; fixation with titanium plates and screws is more stable and can allow an earlier return to soft foods, though full bone healing still takes 3–6 months. Facial swelling peaks at 48–72 hours and gradually resolves over 2–3 weeks.

Orthognathic surgery is a major procedure typically performed under general anaesthesia in a hospital setting, and safety depends on both surgeon experience and hospital infrastructure. Look for JCI (Joint Commission International) or ISO-accredited hospitals, and verify that the surgeon holds a recognised qualification in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS). India, Turkey, Thailand, and Israel all have hospitals with these credentials and surgeons who perform dozens of orthognathic cases annually. Our coordinators will share surgeon CVs, hospital accreditation certificates, and patient outcome data before you commit so you can make a fully informed decision.
