Cost

Orthognathic surgery is a complex procedure, and costs vary widely depending on the extent of surgery, geographic location, and surgeon’s expertise. The total cost generally ranges from $20,000 to $40,000 or more, which often includes pre- and post-surgical orthodontics, hospital fees, anesthesia, and surgeon’s fees. Insurance coverage depends on the medical necessity of the procedure—many plans cover at least part of the cost if the surgery is required to correct functional problems such as severe malocclusion or breathing difficulties.
