What is lantern jaw surgery?

This surgical procedure pushes the excessively developed lower jaw inwards to align the occlusion between the upper and lower chin.

This jaw condition is usually accompanied by the malocclusion 

between the upper and lower teeth.

In severe cases, it is difficult to correctly pronounce words or chew food, causing inconvenience in everyday life and 

psychological complex in one’s appearance.

Lantern Jaw Surgical Method by Type

The appropriate surgical method to treat a lantern jaw varies 

depending on the symptoms.

There is lower jaw surgery that treats the lower jaw only, 

whereas there is double jaw surgery that treats 

both the upper and the lower jaws.

At EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, the surgical

 method varies based on our precise diagnosis, and we offer the most appropriate surgical method to each of our patients. 

When performing lantern jaw surgery, 

we at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery chooses from either the

 Intraoral Vertical Ramus Osteotomy (IVRO) or 

the Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy (SSRO) depending

 on the circumstances of the patient’s lantern jaw.
