ASO + Genioplasty Before and 4 months post-op

First, a quick recap of what ASO is!

Short for Anterior Segmental Osteotomy, ASO is the most common procedure for protruding mouth. Protruding mouth can be diagnosed by drawing a line from the tip of your nose to your chin on your side profile- those whose lips go beyond that line are likely to have protruding mouth.

ASO surgery fixes protruding mouth by extracting teeth and closing the resulting gap by cutting the bone and pushing it back.

The criteria for being recommended ASO surgery are very specific- it is important to discuss your symptoms with a qualified oral and maxillofacial surgeon to see if ASO is the appropriate procedure for improving your symptoms and reducing the risk of adverse side effects.
