Protruding mouth surgeryFACE
Effective correction for protruding gums and teeth
Protruding mouth is caused by projected gum bones. In order to fix the symptom, the aesthetic aspect and functional aspect of occlusion of teeth should be considered. FACE Plastic Surgery Center conducts precise analysis of the cause of protruding mouth to prevent excessive correction and make a natural mouth shape without inturned teeth.
To obtain effective results from protruding mouth surgery, both functional dimension of tooth occlusion and aesthetic dimension should be taken into account. FACE analyzes and treats the condition of patients in cooperation with an orthodontist for balanced treatment between teeth and facial bones.
Types of protruding mouth surgery
(ASO, anterio segment osteotomy)
ASO is the most representative surgical method for correcting a protruding mouth.
It extracts teeth behind the canine and resects the gum bone to push the teeth and skeleton backward.
-
STEP 01Tooth extraction
Tooth is extracted, and gum bone is resected
-
STEP 02Gum bone repositioning
Teeth underneath the protruding gums are moved backward
-
STEP 03Protruding mouth correction
A smooth, natural mouth shape is made without excessive correction
Double-jaw surgery vs.
protruding mouth surgery:
What to have?
If it is only the teeth that protrude, a simple orthodontic treatment will do. If both teeth and gums protrude, however, protruding mouth surgery or double-jaw surgery can correct the condition. Since the method of treatment depends on the cause of protrusion, it is necessary to select the appropriate method based on the condition of tooth or occlusion.

Facial contour, eyes, and noseEveryone's so kind!! And the director doctor does not tell you to undergo the surgery unconditionally but thinks about the condition and satisfaction of the patient before performing the operation, modification, and surgery, which is really good.

Facial contour, eyes, and noseThe surgery is done so naturally that people don't know any better unless I tell them. Now the scars and swellings are gone, and there is no problem with everyday life at all. It's even better because I don't look artificial and get even naturally prettier over time. I get lots of compliments.
