Protruding Mouth Correction is a surgical procedure that focuses on improving facial balance and harmony by repositioning the mouth, teeth, and jaw when they extend too far forward. A protruding mouth can make the lips appear tense or difficult to close, and can sometimes cause the face to look unbalanced from the side profile. This condition often results from an abnormal relationship between the teeth, gums, and jawbone. The correction procedure is carefully designed to bring the mouth area into better proportion with the rest of the facial features, improving both appearance and oral function.

Protruding Mouth Correction offers both aesthetic and functional benefits. The procedure enhances facial symmetry, softens the overall appearance, and allows for more natural lip closure. It can also improve chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and overall oral comfort. Many patients experience a more balanced profile, reduced gum exposure when smiling, and an overall improvement in facial expression. The ultimate goal is to create a harmonious facial contour that appears natural, relaxed, and proportionate while maintaining a healthy and stable bite.

Protruding Mouth Correction begins with a consultation by the doctor at the affiliated clinic, where a thorough assessment of the teeth, gums, and jaw alignment is performed. During this stage, 3D scans and dental imaging are taken to determine the degree of protrusion and to design a procedure plan that ensures both functional improvement and aesthetic balance.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete. The process typically involves the extraction of 4 molars, 2 from the upper and 2 from the lower jaw, to create space for repositioning. After the extractions, the protruding alveolar bone (ulitis) and teeth are moved backward into the newly created space. Once the correct alignment is achieved, the bone and teeth are secured firmly using precise fixation techniques to ensure stability during the healing phase. This method is also known as Anterior Segmental Osteotomy (ASO) and is designed to achieve a smoother, more balanced facial contour.

After the procedure, patients usually stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 nights for observation. Sutures are typically removed after about 14 days, with 3 to 4 follow-up visits required for monitoring and adjustment. Recovery time varies, but most individuals can resume light daily activities within 5 days. Orthodontic treatment may be continued after surgery to refine dental alignment and achieve optimal results.
