Orthognathic surgery not only corrects functional problems such as malocclusions or sleep apnoea, but can also completely redefine facial harmony. Although many celebrities do not talk openly about their procedures, there are cases where facial transformations suggest the possibility of having undergone this type of surgery. Here are a few examples:

1.Tom Cruise: Possible bitecorrection

Although he has not confirmed having undergone orthognathic surgery, his remarkable facial change over the years could be due to procedures that adjusted his bite and aligned his jaw. This change gave him a more balanced and symmetrical profile, strengthening his masculine appearance.

Signs: Improved dental and jaw alignment, more harmonious profile.

2.Megan Fox: Dramatic transformation

Actress and model Megan Fox has shown a significant change in her facial structure. Although often attributed to cosmetic treatments, some experts suggest that possible orthognathic surgery contributed to her more defined and proportionate jaw, achieving a perfect balance between the maxilla and mandible.

Signs: More defined jaw, more streamlined and harmonious face.

3.Zac Efron: Improved male profile

Zac Efron has undergone an obvious facial transformation, with a more prominent chin and jawline. Although other procedures have been attributed to him, some surgeons have speculated that he may have had orthognathic surgery to correct and balance the facial structure.

Indications: Strong jawline, improved symmetry, more balanced facial proportions.

4. Miley Cyrus: Functional and aesthetic correction

Miley Cyrus had a noticeable change in the shape of her jaw and smile. There is speculation that she may have undergone orthognathic surgery to improve her bite and align her jaws, which also gave her a more proportionate face.

Indications: More defined jaw, wider and more aesthetically pleasing smile.

5.Kim Kardashian: Jaw definition

Kim Kardashian has been an icon of aesthetic transformation. Although she has not confirmed orthognathic surgery, her jaw definition and facial balance could be the result of orthognathic correction combined with other treatments.

Indications: Improved facial harmony, defined and attractive profile.

Examples of Orthognathic Surgery: Transformations that Change Lives

Orthognathic surgery is a complex and effective procedure that corrects functional and aesthetic problems related to the position of the jaws. This type of surgery is ideal for patients with severe malocclusions, facial deformities or functional difficulties such as chewing, speaking or breathing correctly. It also has a positive impact on facial aesthetics.

Here are some real and remarkable examples of orthognathic surgery:

1. Class III: Mandibular Prognathism

A patient with mandibular prognathism usually has a prominent lower jaw that protrudes beyond the upper jaw, causing an inverted bite and an unbalanced profile.

• Case report: A young patient with severe crossbite and prominent mandible.
• Procedure: Advancement of the maxilla (Le Fort I osteotomy) and mandibular retraction (bilateral sagittal osteotomy).
• Results: Facial harmonisation, improvement of the bite and recovery of personal confidence.

2. Class II: Mandibular Retrusion

Mandibular retrusion is a common case where the lower jaw is underdeveloped, resulting in a convex profile and difficulty chewing properly.

• Case report: An adult female with a receding chin and lack of profile definition.
• Procedure: Mandibular advancement to improve the relationship between the maxilla and mandible.
• Results: A balanced profile, increased mandibular definition and functional improvement.

3. Facial Asymmetry

Facial asymmetry occurs when one half of the face is not aligned with the other, causing aesthetic imbalance and functional problems such as misaligned bites.

• Case report: Patient with mandible deviated to the right and asymmetric bite.
• Procedure: Combined surgery to realign mandible and maxilla, with mandibular rotation and maxillary adjustment.
• Results: Facial symmetry restored, bite correction and improved aesthetic harmony.

4. Open Bite

In an open bite, the front teeth fail to close even when the molars are in contact, causing chewing and aesthetic problems.

• Case report: Adolescent with severe open bite and difficulty chewing.
• Procedure: Impaction of the upper jaw and mandibular adjustment to close the bite.
• Results: Improvement in dental functionality and a drastic aesthetic change, with a more harmonious profile.

5. Bimaxillary Advancement for Aesthetic and Functional Purposes

In cases where both the maxilla and mandible are recessed, bimaxillary advancement can solve respiratory problems, such as obstructive sleep apnoea, as well as improve aesthetics.

• Case report: Patient with flat face and severe sleep apnoea.
• Procedure: Advancement of the upper and lower jaw to improve facial projection and airway.
• Results: Improved respiratory function, better profile definition and facial rejuvenation.

Benefits of Orthognathic Surgery

1. Functional: Improves chewing, breathing and speech.
2. Aesthetic: Harmonises the facial profile and improves the proportion of the jaws.
3. Psychological: Strengthens patients’ self-esteem and confidence.
4. Lasting: Permanent results that transform lives.
