This study seeks to answer the question: Does a single pre-operative dose of tranexamic acid have a statistically significant reduction in blood loss during orthognathic surgery?
If it does, this drug may begin to be used routinely during orthognathic surgery to reduce blood loss in our patients.

In this study, patients will be randomized into two groups: and intervention group and placebo. The intervention group will receive a single pre-operative dose of TXA IV (10mg/kg) and the placebo group will receive the same volume of fluid intravenously.

The patient will be unaware of which group they have been randomized into
| Placebo (normal saline 0.9%) | Other | An equivalent amount of normal saline (0.9%) will be given to the patient pre-operatively after induction of general anesthesia. The amount of saline given will correspond to the same amount of fluid which would have been given had the patient been in the intervention group. |
