Orthognathic or corrective surgeries are of great importance nowadays are esthetics is put forward for most of the patients. A very important factor in the success of a surgery is the mental attitude of the patient. There has been much interest recently in the effect of attitude on one’s overall health and healing. The study aims at comparing the esthetic changes between pre op and post op orthognathic surgeries. The questionnaire was personally distributed to 50 patients who had reported with an orthodontic complaint and wanted to undergo orthognathic surgery. Pre and post operative pictures of patients who underwent orthodontic treatment were shown to the participants and they had been asked to answer the questions asked. Questions were set in such a way that they were self explanatory and could be interpreted in a clear manner by the person taking up the survey. 80% of the total were also found to expect more esthetical improvements in the surgery that was performed. 46% of them could find a lot of difference in the nose and 80% of them could spot clear and visible changes in the teeth whereas 34% of them stated that there were no major alterations that were seen in the face. Most of the patients who participated in the survey were females and of age 18-30 years. Chi square test shows p<0.000, significant. It is seen that most of the general population felt that the aesthetics has been improved in a patient who underwent orthognathic surgery.
