Improving jutting chin, surgical procedure and post-orthodontics!

There are many factors that affect your impression.

Some gives a positive image and some gives a negative image.

Especially the lower part of the face.The shape of the jaw and the occlusion have a lot of influence on the overall impression.Today, among other things, I'd like to tell you about the jutting chin which gives you a bad impression.
I'm sure you've heard of the word 'jutting chin' A jutting chin is a face shape with excessive growth of the lower jaw.Mainly the lower jaw is protruded forward and over developed.The facial shape is often flat or concave, and there is often an opposite bite.Sometimes the angular part of the jaw develops at the same time as the jawbone itself.In some cases, gum bones have developed simultaneously as well.








Also, even if the occlusion is relatively normal, and the lower jaw looks strong and looks like a jutting chin, it can be seen as a jutting chin in a broad sense.
A jutting chin is a medical term called mandibular prognathism or jaw tip hypertrophy. The characteristics of mandibular prognathism makes a strong impression with a sharp, long jaw and protruding lower lip.

In this case, it is effective to move the jaw to a normal joint position by performing lower jaw surgery or two jaw surgery.


If only the lower jaw is developed, mandibular surgery is applied to cut the back jawbone of the molar and put the entire jawbone back, including the lower teeth.
If the jaw joint is accompanied by abnormalities such as facial asymmetry, open joints, long faces, and irregular joints, two jaw surgery is applied to remove both the upper and lower jaw joints and move them to the correct position.


Tectonic hypertrophy refers to a condition in which the face looks chunky and chin looks sharp, but the actual occlusion is normal.
The surgical method changes the direction, angle, and position of the incision depending on the shape of the jaw.
One of the things that people who are considering a jutting chin surgery are wondering is whether teeth correction is necessary before a jutting chin surgery.



Of course, the best thing to do is to visit the hospital and consult the surgeon to get an accurate picture of the current condition.
Since the jutting chin surgery is an operation that moves the position of the jawbone to match with the teeth, it is important to accurately diagnose the current state of intersection.
Therefore, to achieve safe and ideal results, you need to carefully analyze the facial bones with X-RAY, 3D-CT equipment, diagnose the tooth joint correctly, and even consider the amount of change in the actual face.

To do so, the experience and know-how of a surgeon are important.
Therefore, if you are considering correction of the jutting chin, it is advisable to carefully check the hospital and the surgeon's experience and know-how in surgery, whether they are constantly researching the area, whether an anesthesiologist is stationed for safety, and whether they are well prepared for emergency conditions.
