  Highly effective in improving facial appearance for patients with disproportionate facial ratios or long faces.

The old method of double jaw surgery required : Braces before surgery → Surgery → Braces after surgery.
At ID Hospital, our new method is simpler : Surgery → Braces after surgery.

Traditional double jaw surgery required 1–1.5 years of orthodontic treatment before surgery, forcing patients to endure a long, painful, and inconvenient period. With ID Hospital’s advanced method, surgery is performed first, followed only by post-surgery braces. This means far less discomfort and a much faster path to recovery and results.

id Surgery-First Approach Orthognathic Surgery
has shortened the recovery period by 1 year and 6 months with no orthodontic treatment before surgery.

Difference between
Surgery-First Approach and
traditional orthognathic surgery

People often ask, “Is the Surgery-First Approach different from orthognathic surgery?” The Surgery-First Approach is in fact a type of orthognathic surgery. The difference lies in the sequence. Traditional orthognathic surgery requires orthodontic treatment first, followed by surgery. In contrast, the Surgery-First Approach skips the lengthy pre-surgery orthodontics and performs the surgery first, with orthodontic treatment taking place afterward.

id Hospital: The first Hospital
to introduce Surgery-First Approach
Orthognathic Surgery!

Patients with malocclusion often want to relieve their discomfort as quickly as possible. However, many experienced worsening of jaw protrusion during the long period of orthodontic treatment required before surgery. To reduce this pain and burden, ID Hospital introduced the Surgery-First Approach in Korea, allowing patients to undergo surgery sooner and experience faster, more comfortable results.
