How this is done
Procedures in the same area as this case, with steps, recovery and cautions.
Double Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)
Double jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, involves repositioning the upper and lower jaws to correct structural imbalances. It is designed to improve both the functional alignment of the teeth and the overall aesthetic harmony of the face.
No-Tie Double Jaw Surgery
No-Tie Jaw Surgery is an advanced orthognathic procedure that corrects jaw misalignment without wiring the mouth shut during recovery. This technique allows patients to breathe, speak, and eat more comfortably immediately after surgery, significantly shortening the recovery experience.
Surgery-First Jaw Correction (Pre-Orthodontic Surgery)
Pre-orthodontic jaw surgery, also known as 'Surgery-First,' allows patients to undergo corrective jaw procedures before starting orthodontic treatment. This method shortens the overall treatment timeline and provides immediate aesthetic improvement by correcting the skeletal foundation first.
Dissolvable Pin Jaw Surgery (Invisible Osteosynthesis)
Dissolvable Pin Orthognathic Surgery uses bio-absorbable materials to secure the jawbone, which naturally dissolve after the bone has healed. This technique eliminates the long-term presence of metal hardware and the need for secondary removal surgeries.
Anterior Segment Osteotomy (Protruding Mouth Surgery)
Anterior Segment Osteotomy (ASO) is a jaw surgery designed to correct protruding mouths caused by forward-leaning gum bones. The procedure involves creating space by removing premolars and retracting the front segment of the jaw to balance the facial profile.
Protruding Mouth Surgery (No Braces Option)
Protruding mouth surgery without braces uses Anterior Segmental Osteotomy (ASO) to reposition the jaw bone, followed by ceramic laminates to close gaps. This method significantly shortens treatment time by eliminating the need for long-term orthodontics.
