Mandibular retraction will affect the coordination of facial shape, resulting in less refined facial features, but is it orthognathic or jaw shaped?

The formation of orthognathic jaw and chin can improve mandibular retrusion, but there are differences between the two

First of all, we should know that the formation of orthognathic jaw and chin is suitable for people with severe mandibular retraction. The difference is whether your retraction affects the development of teeth.

If it is just a short chin, which does not affect the teeth occlusion, you can choose to shape the chin.

(We can learn how to shape the chin through the following video)

Chin molding is chin molding. To put it bluntly, it is chin surgery, but it is not as simple as a prosthesis to cushion the chin.

The commonly used genioplasty includes chin forward movement, chin retraction, chin heightening, chin lowering (also called chin lengthening), and chin deviation correction.

If the jaw is short and the occlusion is abnormal, only orthognathic surgery can be performed.

The function of orthognathic surgery is not only to restore the coordination of the lip jaw relationship of the face, but also to correct the misplaced teeth, adjust the uncoordinated arch jaw relationship, eliminate the dental interference, arrange the dentition, eliminate the compensatory inclination of the teeth, enable the cut bone to move smoothly to the designed correction position, establish a good dental jaw relationship, and sometimes require combined orthodontic treatment.

Some people are curious: why did you make the chin shaped

The chin formed by the chin will certainly become smaller, because it is a short chin and still has the problem of shrinkage. After surgical correction, the chin returns to the correct position and is still a short chin, which has nothing to do with the doctor's operation.

Personally, I suggest that hyaluronic acid should be used to fill the chin before the formation of the chin, and your favorite length should be recorded so that the doctor can adjust the proper chin length in the future.
