What are the techniques to correct a
protruding mouth?
All
patients will have to go through a 3D CT scan to
isolate the root cause of the
protruding mouth and
plan a corrective surgery.
The surgeon will be able to
provide an accurate diagnosis
and suggest the most suitable technique
to fix
the problem after studying the results of the CT scan. T
here is a technique for
correcting a protruding mouth as follows:
Anterior Segmental Osteotomy (ASO)
This
technique is applied when teeth are straight,
but just the gum itself is
protruding.
This procedure is performed under general anesthesia and
often
takes 1-1.5 hours.
2
premolar teeth behind the canines (2 upper, 2 lower)
will be carefully
extracted. The gum bone will be cut
and shifted backwards.
The surgeon will
then push back the protruding gum
and teeth into the site of the
extracted
teeth to reverse the protrusion of the gum.
This the technique can help move the protruding gums back by as much as 7-8mm.
Orthodontic treatment is required to fill up the empty area for about 6 months.
