Mouth Protrusion

This procedure corrects Mouth Protrusion caused by protruding gum bone, which makes the mouth appear to jut out, by extracting teeth and moving the front gum bone and teeth backward. Using 3D CT measurements and collaboration with oral and maxillofacial surgery, the degree of A-point movement is planned to pursue a balanced facial contour without overcorrection.
