What is Two jaw Surgery?

In cases where the mandible protrudes out more than the upper jaw does, such as mandibular prognathism, long face, or facial asymmetry, more often than not, a maloccluding dental interlocking may also largely occur. In such cases, the position and function are abnormal.
Two jaw surgery is an operation that corrects the position by fracturing the upper and lower jaws. Aesthetic goal and the functional target of dental interlocking must all be satisfied. The surgical outcome is dramatic, and there is also a significant change in a patient’s appearance.

Target indications for Two jaw surgery

1

Mandible prognathism
with long and
protruded mandible

2

Facial asymmetry
with an unbalanced
and bent chin

3

Mouth protrusion
with bulging of
both teeth and gums

4

Overall elongated face

5

Flat face

6

Cases with either
a malocclusion or
an open bite.

Face without droopiness

Our surgeons do not perform any excessive facial bone reduction that causes the skin to droop and damage the jaw line.

Technique of Two jaw Surgery

Sagittal Splitting Ramus Osteotomy (SSRO) and Le Fort fracture procedures are performed at Apgujeong YK Plastic Surgery Clinic.

STEP 01

Osteotomy on Maxilla and mandible

STEP 02

Trimming and position

STEP 03

fixation

Advancements in line surgery are possible due to considerable progression in orthodontic procedures, rather than that of surgical methods.

In the past, it was demanding to carry out a proper occlusion suitable for the resultant shape of a facial surgery. Now, even a movement of the premolar and molar have become facilitated. Thus, once a shape of the face has been created, any dental work/tooth fitting can be fitted onto the face. Cases of line surgery largely show malocclusion after surgery. However, a patient can undertake postsurgical orthodontic treatment, preventing recurrences while attaining stable dental occlusion.
