Maxillary surgery is a subset of oral and maxillofacial surgery focused on structural corrections, reconstructions, or repositioning of the upper jaw (maxilla) and adjacent facial bones. This can include orthognathic surgery (e.g. Le Fort I osteotomy) to correct bite misalignments, facial asymmetries, or skeletal deficiencies, as well as reconstructive procedures following trauma, tumor removal, congenital defects, or cleft palate.

In performing maxillary surgery, surgeons use detailed imaging (CT/CBCT), digital planning, and custom surgical guides or splints to precisely reposition the maxilla in three dimensions (vertical, horizontal, transverse). The bone is then stabilized using plates and screws. With meticulous execution, this allows improved occlusion (bite), facial aesthetics, airway function, and long-term stability.
