Orthognathic Surgery by Type

Reface’s Personalized Orthognathic Surgery for Each Facial Type

"What is your
Facial Type?"

Orthognathic surgery should not be performed the same way for every patient.
Reface offers tailored surgery
according to face type.

Orthognathic surgery is a specialized treatment
that simultaneously achieves facial form improvement
and functional occlusion restoration.
Reface Dental Hospital offers precisely
tailored surgical plans based on
each patient's unique anatomical features,
providing fully customized orthognathic surgery.

3D Multi-Piece

No compromises—safety, precision, function, and beauty,
all delivered together! ReFace's Exclusive
3D Multi-Piece Orthognathic Surgery

3D Facial Analysis

A 3D CT scan is conducted prior to surgery to accurately evaluate the lower facial skeleton from frontal and lateral views.

3D Simulation

3D simulation enables intuitive visualization of changes to the maxilla and mandible, guiding accurate surgical planning.

Multi-Piece Surgical Method

The maxilla is repositioned using a multi-piece approach, achieving stable dental occlusion that also accounts
for the functional aspects of the jaw and teeth.

Straightening period

Perfect Harmony of Surgery and Orthodontics,
At Reface, surgery and orthodontics are perfectly synchronized,
reducing the need for prolonged
post-surgical braces

Orthognathic surgery is more than just bone repositioning;
postoperative tooth movement and changes in occlusion must be considered.
From the very beginning of surgical planning, Reface Dental Hospital ensures procedures are designed
to shorten the post-surgical orthodontic period.
Through this, postoperative orthodontics are coordinated to be minimal,
helping patients return to daily life quickly.

  • Long face
  • Facial asymmetry
  • What is prognathism?

    Prognathism is when a lower jaw is relatively protruded compared to an upper jaw, causing the mouth and jaw to extend forward.
    The dental midline may not align, or the face may appear asymmetrical, and in severe cases it can be accompanied by functional problems such as temporomandibular joint disorders, headaches, chewing difficulties, and speech impairment, making surgical correction necessary.

    Types of Prognathism Surgery
    Method 01

    Prognathism with Only the Chin Protruding

    This is when the bite is normal but only the chin juts out. Only the chin area is
    osteotomized to reshape the overgrown chin tip. In some cases, part of the mandible is cut and moved backward to achieve proper alignment.

    Method 02

    Protruding Jaw (prognathism)

    This is a typical prognathism accompanied by malocclusion.
    Both the maxilla and mandible are osteotomized and repositioned to achieve aesthetic improvement while
    simultaneously restoring dental function.

    Method 03

    Protruding Mouth Prognathism

    This is a case where not only the lower jaw but the entire mouth is protruding forward. Both the maxilla and mandible are osteotomized and moved to the correct positions. If necessary, a Multi-Piece Surgical Method divides the maxilla or mandible into several segments so each can be precisely adjusted and moved into the correct position.

  • What is a Microgenia?

    A receded chin refers to a condition in which the mandible is relatively smaller than the maxilla or is positioned posteriorly, causing the mouth and chin to appear retruded.
    The dental midlines may not align, and the face may not appear slender In severe cases, functional problems such as temporomandibular joint disorder, headache, decreased masticatory function, and speech impairment may accompany it requiring orthodontic treatment or surgery.

    Surgical methods for micrognathia by type
    Method 01

    When only the chin is retruded

    The overall facial contour is normal, but the tip of the lower jaw (chin) is small or retruded. The chin bone is cut and moved forward or lengthened to adjust the face's natural proportions.

    Method 02

    The entire lower jaw is retruded

    Not only the chin tip but the whole lower jaw is small or pushed back, causing imbalance across the jawline; this can affect dental occlusion in addition to aesthetic concerns. The lower jawbone is osteotomized and advanced as a whole. When not only the mandible but also the maxilla needs adjustment, the positions of the maxilla and mandible are adjusted together to correct facial proportions and functional problems simultaneously.

    Method 03

    Severe micrognathia

    A condition in which the jaw is structurally underdeveloped, potentially accompanied by both aesthetic and functional problems (masticatory dysfunction, speech disorders, etc.). Through double-jaw surgery, not only the position of the mandible but also the position and angle of the maxilla are adjusted together to carry out an overall reconstruction. In cases of severe bone deficiency, autogenous bone (the patient's own bone) is harvested and grafted to the jaw area to augment the jawbone.

  • What is a long face?

    A long face refers to a condition in which the vertical length of the face is greater than the horizontal width.
    This can make the overall facial proportions appear unbalanced, In severe cases, masticatory dysfunction, speech problems, and temporomandibular joint discomfort may occur May be accompanied by various functional problems, Surgical correction is often required.

    Surgical methods for long-face types
    Method 01

    Long maxilla and mandible

    This is when the skeletal structures of both the maxilla and mandible are elongated, causing the overall facial proportions to be excessively stretched vertically. Whether to perform maxillary (Le Fort) surgery is determined selectively based on factors such as the degree of gingival display, dental alignment, and presence of asymmetry.

    Method 02

    Face with an excessively long lower jaw

    A condition in which the length of the mandible is abnormally increased, accompanied by malocclusion and mandibular prognathism. By adjusting the length and position of the mandible, vertical length can be improved along with functional restoration of dental occlusion.

    Method 03

    Long face due to excessive development of the mandible

    Overall occlusion is normal, but the mandibular symphysis (chin) is excessively developed, giving the face a long appearance. In this case, only the tip of the mandible is resected and fixed in a normal position to improve facial length.

  • What is Facial Asymmetry?

    Facial asymmetry refers to differences in the form of structures on the left and right sides relative to the facial midline, a condition in which position and function are misaligned and symmetry is not maintained.
    It can result from congenital skeletal abnormalities or abnormal mastication habits, and may lead to various functional disorders, so appropriate orthodontic treatment or surgery is necessary.

    Surgical Methods for Facial Asymmetry by Type
    Method 01

    Facial Asymmetry with Mandibular Midline Deviation

    This occurs when the lower jaw is shifted to one side, making the entire face appear asymmetric. The mandibular bone is moved left or right to align the midline, and the chin contour is corrected.

    Method 02

    Complex Type with Asymmetry of Both Maxilla and Mandible

    Both the upper and lower jaws have deviated midlines, with dental arches and occlusion also unbalanced. Through bimaxillary surgery, the maxilla and mandible are mobilized simultaneously to realign the facial midline and restore occlusal function.

    Method 03

    Cases where Only the Chin is Asymmetric

    The overall jaw bones are symmetrical, but only the chin is deviated to one side. Only the chin tip is moved to the midline to correct it, and facial asymmetry can be greatly improved with a relatively simple surgery.
