Complications in orthognathic surgery may stem from occurrences at anyone of many time points during the course of the patient's treatment: preoperative judgment and planning, perioperative orthodontic care, or intraoperatively. This article specifically addresses those complications that arise as a result of intraoperative technique.

For each type, specific complications, their prevention, and their treatment are discussed.
