Protruding Mouth Correction

👄 Protruding Mouth Correction

Improve Facial Profile & Achieve Balanced Aesthetics
| New York Dental Clinic | Daegu Dental Clinic

A protruding mouth—where the lips and mid-face appear excessively forward—can affect facial harmony, lip closure, and confidence. At New York Dental Clinic in Daegu, we offer specialized orthodontic and surgical solutions to correct bimaxillary protrusion and restore ideal balance between your teeth, jaws, and facial structure.

🏥 What Is Protruding Mouth Correction?

This treatment focuses on reducing the forward position of the upper and/or lower jaws to improve profile aesthetics, lip competence, and dental function. It often involves a combination of orthodontic preparation and orthognathic surgery, especially in moderate to severe cases.

Patients may present with:

• Upper and lower teeth protruding beyond the lips
• Difficulty closing lips without tension
• Gummy smiles or excessive lip strain
• Flattened or imbalanced side profile
• Speech or chewing issues due to jaw misalignment

✅ You May Benefit from This Correction If:

• Your lips remain open at rest
• You feel constant strain when closing your mouth
• Your profile appears convex or unbalanced
• You've been told you have bimaxillary protrusion
• You want a more defined chin and jawline
• You’re unhappy with your facial or smile aesthetics

🧠 Treatment Process Overview

Phase 1: Orthodontic Preparation (6–12 months)
Braces or aligners move teeth into optimal positions for surgery.

Phase 2: Surgical Correction (Orthognathic Surgery)
The upper jaw (maxilla) and/or lower jaw (mandible) are repositioned backward. In some cases, tooth extractions are done beforehand to allow for proper alignment.

Phase 3: Post-Surgical Orthodontics (6–12 months)
Finishing touches are made to refine the bite and stabilize results.

⚙️ Surgical Techniques Involved (via Referral Network)

• Anterior Segmental Osteotomy
  Moves front teeth and jaw segments back
• Double Jaw Surgery (Bimax Surgery)
  Corrects both upper and lower protrusion
• Tooth Extraction with Retraction Orthodontics
  For mild to moderate cases without surgery

We refer to top Korean oral surgeons for precise, natural-looking results.
