Mouth Protrusion

Mouth Protrusion surgery is a jaw correction procedure that adjusts the mouth shape and facial contour by assessing the degree of protrusion of the teeth and gum bone, occlusion status, and facial balance. ID Hospital identifies each surgical case through 3D simulation and specialist evaluation, then performs the appropriate procedure, either Orthognathic Surgery or ASO (anterior segmental osteotomy).

How is Mouth Protrusion surgery different from Orthognathic Surgery?

Mouth Protrusion surgery primarily corrects protruding areas by extracting teeth and performing an osteotomy of the gum bone, whereas Orthognathic Surgery involves osteotomy of the upper and lower jaw bones to adjust both jaw position and occlusion.

Collaborative Care System Dedicated to Mouth Protrusion Surgery

ID Hospital operates a collaborative care system involving specialists in plastic surgery, orthodontics, and prosthodontics to plan ideal Mouth Protrusion surgery.

Surgical Procedure

After assessing the degree of protrusion and occlusion status, the necessary bone is removed, moved to the planned position, and secured to adjust the mouth shape and facial contour.

STEP 1. Bone Resection

Teeth are extracted, and the gum bone is resected.

STEP 2. Bone Movement

The front gums and teeth are moved backward.

STEP 3. Mouth Protrusion Correction

This promotes faster recovery and helps prevent overcorrection.

The surgical method and results may vary depending on the individual's condition and are determined through consultation with a specialist.
