Convex mouth is a common facial deformity, and its external manifestation is protruding mouth. Many people want to know whether the convex mouth surgery is the same as orthognathic surgery? What is the difference between the two? Let me analyze it in detail.
First, find out what convex mouth surgery and orthognathic surgery are!
Convex mouth is also called convex mouth. As the name suggests, the mouth is naturally relaxed, and the lips protrude outward. The surgery to correct this facial deformity is convex mouth surgery.
Convex surgery, also known as gingival retraction surgery, is an osteotomy performed in front of the teeth, pulling out the next tooth next to the tiger tooth, leaving a certain space, and then moving the front teeth and the gum bones of the tiger tooth backward together. In fact, this is an operation to push or remove the jaw.
Moreover, orthognathic surgery is called in China and bimaxillary surgery in South Korea, which is actually the same thing.
Orthodontic surgery is a combined operation of orthodontics and surgery. First of all, the dislocation of teeth is solved through surgery to eliminate the interference of the dental jaw, and then the bone block is cut and moved to an appropriate position to establish a good dental jaw relationship.
So what's the difference between convex mouth surgery and orthognathic surgery?
The protruding mouth operation can only be corrected by tooth extraction. Orthognathic surgery is different from individuals, and tooth extraction is not necessary.
There is also a difference between surgery and hospital stay. Convex surgery usually takes 2-3 hours. Postoperative hospital observation for one night, orthognathic surgery is more complex, requiring 3-3.5 hours to complete, and two days after surgery, discharge.
Moreover, convex mouth surgery is cheaper than orthognathic surgery. Because the protruding mouth surgery belongs to orthognathic surgery, orthognathic surgery is not only protruding mouth surgery, but also Earth Baotian correction.
The protruding mouth operation is only responsible for improving the protruding mouth problem, which cannot achieve the full improvement of face shape in the front, side and 45 ° of orthognathic surgery.
In this way, you should be able to judge whether you are suitable for bulge mouth surgery or orthognathic surgery!
The orthognathic surgery is widely used. The facial deformities such as long face, protruding mouth, ground bag, buckteeth, improper occlusion and shoehorn face have been significantly improved. It is a 360 ° head changing experience. The protruding mouth mainly improves the mouth protrusion problem.
To put it simply, if you want to improve significantly, do orthognathic surgery. If you want to solve prominent oral problems, do bulging surgery.
