What is double-jaw surgery?
Literally speaking, it means operating on both jaws at the same time: the maxilla (upper jaw) and the mandible (lower jaw).
Cases in which the upper and lower jaws need to be operated on simultaneously include underbite, facial asymmetry, protruding mouth, severe receding chin, and cases where the middle part of the face is excessively long.
When the upper and lower jaws are operated on at the same time, the positional relationship of the teeth attached to the maxilla and mandible also changes.
Therefore, in the case of double-jaw surgery, careful attention and consideration to the postoperative dental occlusion are essential.
