Protruding Mouth Surgery

Naturally harmonious correction for a protruding mouth by ReFace

"Tired of being told that your mouth looks protruded?"

From identifying the root cause to delivering the right solution,
Reface helps you transform your profile.
ReFace provides safe, precise
corrective surgery for protruding mouth.

A protruding mouth is rarely just a dental issue—it can stem from deeper structural factors
such as alveolar bone shape, jaw position, and overall lip profile.
If your gums show prominently when you smile, or If your mouth doesn't close naturally or comfortably,
surgical correction may be needed.

ReFace Dental Hospital analyzes the lateral line and skeletal structure
to achieve a natural, harmonious impression by improving three-dimensional facial proportions
rather than just simple retraction.

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.

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.

Definition
What is protruding-mouth surgery?

Protruding-mouth surgery is a procedure that moves the lips, gums, and teeth, which protrude forward, inward to improve their position. It is not simply a surgery to push the mouth back, but one that balances the front and side aspects of the face, We aim to create a natural and harmonious mouth appearance.

Surgical method
Protruding Mouth Surgery Method
Method 01

ASO, Anterior Segmental Osteotomy

Anterior segmental osteotomy is a surgical technique in which the teeth and alveolar bone around the front teeth are cut
and then the entire segment is moved backward as a whole.
After extracting the four premolars, the procedure involves repositioning the alveolar bone backward
to correct the protrusion of the mouth.

Method 02

Anterior segmental osteotomy(ASO) + genioplasty

This is a surgery that adjusts the position of the chin
together with anterior segmental osteotomy.
The anterior segmental osteotomy brings the mouth back, and the genioplasty moves the chin forward or backward
to achieve a balanced result.

Method 03

Anterior segment osteotomy + maxillary surgery (ASO + LeFort Osteotomy)

A surgery that cuts and moves the bone in the anterior maxillary segment,
primarily performed to correct a protruding mouth or malocclusion.
This procedure involves separating the front segment of the upper jaw and moving it backward,
utilizing the space from extracted teeth to reposition and secure the bone.
