This is probably the most common question among orthognathic surgery candidates who contact us through various channels. However, it is not a question that can be answered in a general way, as the cost of this type of surgery depends on many factors and always requires a prior evaluation of the patient.
Factors That Influence Price
- The cost estimate for orthognathic surgery includes several aspects:
- Medical consultations
- Virtual surgery planning
- Preoperative and postoperative studies
- Type of surgery (monomaxillary or bimaxillary)
- Surgeon's fees, based on their experience
- Hospitalization, which includes:
- Anesthesiologist and anesthesia nurse
- Anesthesia
- Circulating fluid
- Medication
- Room - Fixation materials (number of plates and screws)
- Surgical splints
- Postoperative follow-up
Additional costs may be added to this, related to the complexity of the case or the performance of complementary or cosmetic procedures during the same procedure.
Price Range in Spain
In Spain, the average cost of orthognathic surgery usually starts at around €15,000 and can reach €35,000 in complex cases.
It is important to note that this surgery is generally considered cosmetic and is not usually covered by insurance. There are exceptions, such as when the skeletal malformation causes sleep apnea or other breathing problems.
Orthodontics, Part of the Complete Treatment
Most patients who undergo orthognathic surgery also require pre- and post-operative orthodontic treatment, which is not included in the above prices.
- Orthodontic treatment usually begins about 18 months before surgery.
- After surgery, the orthodontist adjusts the teeth until they are fully aligned.
- The complete treatment (orthodontics + surgery) can last between 15 months and three years.
