A single jaw surgery means only one jaw is manipulated during the surgery,this could be either the upper jaw (maxilla), or the lower jaw (mandible). While a double jaw surgery involves both the upper and lower jaw. The indication for either a single jaw or a double jaw will depend on each individual's case needs. If the jaw malposition involves both jaws, then a double jaw surgery is usually indicated. Likewise if the jaw malposition involves only 1 jaw then a single jaw surgery is more appropriate.
