Long jaw or protruding jaw refers to cases where the lower jaw is
excessively developed or the upper jaw is relatively underdeveloped,

Q&A

  • Q If I undergo square jaw reduction surgery, can it improve a protruding jaw?
    A Typically, for protruding jaw cases, the jaw extends forward beyond the normal range due to anterior-posterior relationships.
    In such cases, it's recommended to consider square jaw surgery and anterior jaw surgery simultaneously, taking into account occlusal aspects
    and vertical length ratios. People with protruding jaws often have a less-developed square jaw,so square jaw surgery is performed not only to eliminate
    a square jaw but also to create a natural line connecting the anterior jaw area.
