Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Surgery) Patient Experiences

    Orthognathic Surgery

    I was referred to Dr. Singh by my Orthodontist for orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery when I was getting braces. Before starting my journey, I struggled with everyday things like eating—especially foods I love, like burgers, because biting down was difficult. While that was frustrating, my biggest challenge was my confidence. I rarely smiled and constantly felt like people were judging my teeth, which led to a lot of social anxiety. Since having the surgery, everything has changed. Eating is much easier, my speech has improved with less of a lisp, and most importantly, I feel confident. I’m no longer afraid to go out or talk to people, and I actually enjoy smiling now.

    Dr. Singh and the team at Chilliwack Oral Surgery were incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. From regular check-ins to post-operative care, I always felt looked after. One of the most helpful parts was seeing a mock-up of what my results could look like—it made the decision much easier and reassured me about the outcome. While the idea of surgery was scary at first, and the recovery—especially the soft diet and sleeping elevated—was challenging for a few months, it was absolutely worth it. Looking back, I only wish I had done it sooner.

    Now that I’m finished, I can confidently say this experience has been life-changing. My confidence has improved drastically, my friends constantly compliment my smile, and I feel like a completely different person socially. If someone is considering this type of surgery, I would tell them that while it is a big commitment, the results are truly worth it.

    Orthognathic Surgery

    I was referred to Chilliwack Oral Surgery by my doctor due to ongoing jaw pain. Orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery was suggested alongside braces to achieve the best outcome. My upper jaw was too narrow, and my lower jaw had grown asymmetrically, with the right side developing more than the left. To correct this, my upper jaw was surgically widened, and my lower jaw was rotated to improve symmetry and ensure my teeth aligned properly. I had been dealing with constant jaw clicking, pain, and tension that was starting to affect my daily life more than I had even realized.

    From the very beginning, Dr. Singh and the entire team made me feel incredibly supported. This was a long journey, and what stood out most was how the staff always remembered me by name—it made a big difference and meant a lot during such a challenging process.

    The recovery was tough, especially in the first couple of weeks, both physically and mentally. It’s not an easy process, but with time, proper pain management, and the support from Dr. Singh and his staff, things improved—and the results made it worthwhile.

    Now that I’m through it, I can confidently say the outcome has had a huge impact on my life. My confidence has improved more than I ever expected, and everyday things like chewing and overall jaw comfort are so much better. Looking back, I didn’t fully realize how much I was struggling before.

    This type of corrective jaw surgery is a big investment in both time and money, but for me, it was absolutely worth it. It wasn’t just about comfort—it was necessary for my long-term health and may have even prevented more serious issues, like losing my teeth.

    If you’re considering surgery with Dr. Singh and his team, it is a worthwhile choice. The care, support, and results truly make a difference

  • Orthognathic Surgery

    I came to Chilliwack Oral Surgery to see Dr. Singh for corrective jaw surgery to help with my recessed jaw and trouble chewing. Before my jaw realignment surgery, I had a hard time breathing, my tongue was always pushing forward, and TMJ pain.

    From the very first visit, Dr. Singh and his team made me feel completely at ease. They explained every step, answered all my questions, and truly cared about how I was doing — before and after surgery. The recovery went smoother than I expected, and the results have been amazing. I can finally chew comfortably, my bite feels natural, and I feel so much more confident in my smile.

    Looking back, deciding to go through with surgery to fix my bite was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. My corrective jaw surgery has completely changed my life for the better.
