The Procedure of Two Jaw Surgery and A.S.O

The Procedure of Two Jaw Surgery and A.S.O

There are two cases of protruded mouth:

1. Protruded teeth

2. Protruded bone of gum

 

For the first case,

it could be solved by pulling out tooth

which is next to the canine

and pushing the protruded one inwards.

It would take 2-3 years for orthodontics,

but there would be no need of surgery.

 

For the second case with protruded bone of gum,

there is no other way but to do

two jaw surgery or A.S.O.(Anterior Segmental Osteotomy).

However, as the fundamental problem is the gum bone,

pushing it inwards would be a resolution.

This surgery is A.S.O.

 

You could imagine two jaw surgery for chin-side surgery,

but two jaw surgery and A.S.O are totally different

while you could be drastically changed after both surgeries.

 

<Two jaw surgery>

 

 

Two jaw surgery is to push upper jaw and lower jaw inwards and pull outwards.

That’s the reason that it’s named as two jaw surgery.

If you’re not a serious case of protruded mouth, push both inwards.

If you have jutting chin, upper jaw is pulled out and push the lower one inwards.

In case of long face, shorten both.

For asymmetric face, change the location of both.

 

Two jaw surgery is to control the location of the bones.

 

 

Then what about A.S.O?

It’s to pull out 4 teeth next to canine teeth, and pushing gum bone inwards.

It’s not to change the angle but only to push inwards in the case of A.S.O, so it’s for serious protruded mouth.

 

You might have protruded mouth if you are like below.

1. Teeth are seen easily that you cannot close your mouth fully.

2. Mouth is often open, and you have fine wrinkles on chin when the mouth is closed.

3. If you put the ruler on the nose tip and chin tip, both lips are on the ruler, too.

4. You have little effect even after the nose surgery to improve flat nose.

5. You’re often told angry

6. You don’t have confidence on profile look, and have a vague mouth shape on photos.

7. You get dry on mouth and lips because of the habit of open mouth during sleep.

 

The more you say yes for lists above, the more chance you have for protruded mouth.

 

What’s important for protruded mouth correction?

Pulling out teeth is essential to get space to push the gum bone inwards.

So you cannot progress A.S.O if you don’t have any teeth to be pulled out.

 

There are some cases of pulling out teeth first

as the procedure of orthodontics

which ended without good results.

A.S.O cannot be performed on these patients since they already pulled out the teeth.

Two jaw surgery could be the solution for this case, so don’t worry!

 

 

If your mouth is just a little protruded,

there are some solutions as

two jaw surgery,

nose surgery,

and lower jaw surgery.

The way to solve will be different by the condition and basic reason for protrusion!

 

Especially, patients with protruded mouth visit the dental clinic first,

since they think just teeth are protruded.
