Mouth Protrusion

This is a surgical procedure (ASO) that improves Mouth Protrusion by moving the front teeth and alveolar bone backward into the spaces created by extracting the upper and lower premolars. Unlike Orthognathic Surgery, which moves the entire upper and lower jaws, it moves only the front teeth and alveolar bone. The appropriate option among Orthodontic Treatment, Mouth Protrusion surgery, and Orthognathic Surgery is determined through a comprehensive analysis of the degree of protrusion, dental occlusion, bone thickness, nerve location, and other factors.

Recommended for the following

· Those whose mouth appears more prominent than the Nasal Tip or chin tip in profile · Those with protruding alveolar bone and teeth · Those who feel that their protruding mouth gives them a strong or dated impression

Customized improvement that considers the shape of the oral cavity, type of protrusion, and functional jaw concerns! We help you achieve a beautiful, safe profile by comprehensively considering the visible degree of protrusion, dental occlusion, bone shape and thickness, skin elasticity, nerve pathway location, and more.

Treatment Methods by Type of Protrusion

Treatment for Mouth Protrusion includes non-surgical Orthodontic Treatment, as well as surgical Mouth Protrusion surgery (ASO) and Orthognathic Surgery. After comprehensively analyzing the type and severity of protrusion and dental occlusion, a customized treatment plan is established through detailed examinations and consultation.

CASE 1. Orthodontic Treatment

For Mouth Protrusion caused by protruding teeth

CASE 2. Mouth Protrusion Surgery (ASO)

When both the alveolar bone and teeth are protruding

CASE 3. Orthognathic Surgery

For Mouth Protrusion accompanied by malocclusion symptoms

* An accurate treatment plan can be determined after a specialist’s diagnosis based on a detailed examination.

Surgical Method

STEP 1. Tooth Extraction and Alveolar Bone Resection

After extracting four upper and lower premolars, the alveolar bone is resected.

STEP 2. Move the Alveolar Bone and Teeth

The protruding alveolar bone and teeth are moved backward through the extraction spaces.

STEP 3. Secure Fixation

The osteotomized bone is firmly fixed in its new position to prevent movement.

STEP 4. Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic Treatment is performed to allow the teeth to settle into position according to the changed bone position.

Surgical Process

STEP 1. Systematic Consultation

Through a thorough consultation, we identify your desired Face shape and areas for improvement.

STEP 2. Face Shape Analysis

Facial photographs, X-rays, CT scans, and other assessments are analyzed from multiple angles to determine the possible scope of improvement.

STEP 3. Design and Outcome Prediction

Based on the consultation and analysis data, a customized Face shape is designed for each individual.

STEP 4. Safe Surgery

Surgery is performed safely through collaboration among specialists in plastic surgery, anesthesiology and pain medicine, and dentistry.

STEP 5. Aftercare

Progress is monitored regularly with CT and X-rays, along with personalized aftercare.

Features of View Facial Bone Surgery

Point 1. Collaborative Care by Plastic Surgery, Dentistry, and Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine

Facial bone surgery for correcting skeletal malocclusion requires meticulous analysis by specialists with extensive surgical experience. Specialists in plastic surgery, dentistry, and anesthesiology and pain medicine collaborate in treatment.

Point 2. Precision Analysis with 3D CT, X-RAY, and Morpheus

High-resolution diagnostic equipment is used to analyze facial characteristics, dental occlusion, bone shape and size, nerve pathway locations, and the characteristics of muscle and fatty tissue to carefully establish a surgical plan.

Point 3. Use of Ultrasonic Osteotomy Equipment (BoneScalpel)

Ultrasonic bone-cutting equipment is used to reduce damage to surrounding tissues and cut bone with greater precision.
