The cost of jaw surgery

**Factors affecting the cost of jaw surgery** The cost of jaw surgery depends on various factors, each of which can have a great impact on the final price. Before performing this operation, many patients are concerned about its costs and are looking for accurate and up-to-date information to make a better decision. In this section, we examine all the factors that can increase or decrease the cost of surgery, so that you can choose the best option with an open vision and sufficient information. ### **complications of surgery** Surgery of one jaw is usually less complicated, because it requires less time and resources, but simultaneous surgery of both jaws can significantly increase the complexity due to the increased duration of the operation. ### **Experience and expertise of maxillofacial surgeon** Surgeons who have years of experience in this field and have performed many successful operations usually charge a higher fee. The reason for this is higher accuracy in surgery, reducing the possibility of complications after the operation and providing better results for the patient. In addition to the skill of the surgeon, his level of expertise also plays an important role in pricing. Some maxillofacial surgeons specialize in orthognathic surgery and can correct more complex problems. ### **Geographic region and city (cost of jaw surgery in Tehran compared to other cities)** In big cities like Tehran, access to skilled surgeons and advanced medical centers is more, but at the same time the costs will be higher. This price increase is due to the higher cost of living, clinic rent, medical staff wages, and additional costs of hospitals. In contrast, jaw surgery costs are usually lower in smaller cities, but patients may have access to less experienced surgeons or more limited treatment options. ### **Accidental Charges** Side costs may seem minor at first glance, but in total they can have a large impact on the final price of the treatment. Some of these costs include: - Medical imaging: for accurate planning of surgery, it is necessary to perform tests such as CT scan and panoramic photography. These imagings are necessary to evaluate the condition of the jaw bone. - Pre-surgery tests: some blood tests and medical examinations are required to ensure the patient's body is ready for surgery. - Post-operative care: After surgery, the patient needs regular visits to check the recovery status. Also, some patients may require special medications or physical therapy, which will incur separate costs. **cost of upper and lower jaw surgery** In many cases, patients are operated only to improve the function and beauty of one of the jaws; But sometimes it is necessary to operate both jaws at the same time to create a better harmony between them. Each of these items has a different cost, which is discussed below. ### **Maxilla surgery cost** Upper jaw (maxilla) surgery is usually performed for patients who have problems such as protrusion or retraction of the upper jaw, bite problems, and breathing disorders. This type of surgery requires high precision, because the position of the upper jaw directly affects the function of the nose and respiratory tract. The cost of this procedure may be between 100 and 130 million Tomans. ### **Cost of mandibular surgery** Lower jaw (mandible) surgery is mostly performed to correct the protrusion or receding of this jaw. This problem can cause disturbances in chewing, speech and even changing the shape of the face. The cost of 1403 mandibular surgery may be around 30 to 70 million Tomans or more. ### **Asymmetric or crooked jaw surgery cost** Patients whose jaws have grown asymmetrically usually need surgery to correct this problem. Jaw asymmetry can cause problems such as bite misalignment. This type of surgery is usually more complicated than conventional surgery and may be more expensive than forward correction or retraction of the jaw**.** ### **Cost of anterior jaw surgery** People with a protruding jaw usually need to adjust the position of the jaw bone, and in some cases, it is recommended to combine it with orthodontics. The cost of this surgery depends on the amount of corrections needed and the recovery time. **cost of jaw surgery for specific problems** For some patients, jaw surgery goes beyond correcting the jaw position and requires the treatment of specific problems such as jaw deviation, complex fractures, bone loss or re-surgery. These types of surgeries are usually more complicated than common jaw surgeries, and the cost of these types of surgeries is usually higher than regular jaw surgeries due to the need for special tools and equipment, longer surgery time, and the need for special care during the recovery period. ### **cost of mandibular deviation surgery** Deviation of the lower jaw is one of the common problems in orthodontic patients, which can lead to problems such as difficulty in chewing, speech abnormalities, and facial asymmetry. The cost of mandibular deviation surgery is influenced by various factors, the most important of which are: - Severity of jaw deviation: the greater the deviation, the more complicated the surgery and the higher the cost. - Duration of hospitalization: In some cases, the patient needs a long-term hospitalization, which increases the cost. - Surgical methods used: Some techniques, such as minimally invasive methods or the use of special stabilizing plates, change the price of surgery. ### **cost of redo jaw surgery** Reoperations are usually more challenging and require high skill of the surgeon and careful planning. Factors affecting the cost of re-surgery of the jaw include the following: - Reasons for the need for re-surgery: If the patient's problem is caused by asymmetric growth of the jaw, the treatment method is different from cases that require re-operation due to the technical problems of the previous surgery. - New surgical equipment and methods: In some cases, the use of new and more complex technologies such as 3D imaging and digital methods for planning the operation can increase the cost. - Post-surgery care: Patients undergoing re-jaw surgery may require physical therapy sessions, frequent visits and special medications, which will incur additional costs. ### **cost of jaw bone surgery** In some cases, these surgeries involve bone grafting from other parts of the body, such as the pelvis or ribs, to reconstruct the jaw area. The cost of jaw bone surgery depends on the following factors: - Type of bone graft: using the natural bone of the patient's body is usually more expensive than artificial implants. - The need to reconstruct teeth: in some patients, in addition to jaw surgery, there is a need for implants or dental prostheses, which increases the cost. - Type of hospital or clinic: the cost of this surgery in private hospitals is usually higher than in public centers. **comparison of jaw surgery cost in different clinics** Patients who intend to perform jaw surgery with a maxillofacial surgeon usually face price differences in different clinics. This difference may be caused by the type of surgery required, the materials and tools used during the operation, the patient's hospitalization conditions, and post-surgery care. In 1403, the minimum price of jaw surgery in 99 for one jaw was between 35 and 50 million Tomans. Also, the minimum cost of double jaw surgery starts from 70 million Tomans. ### **Cost of jaw surgery at Star East Dental Clinic** Setareh Shargh Dental Clinic is one of the most reliable centers in the field of maxillofacial surgery, which provides a variety of services with the highest quality.
