Would a sliding genioplasty correct bimaxillary protrusion and improve the appearance of my jaw line? (photos)

August 3, 2024
Asked By:AffordableBear1378 in Dallas, Texas

I want to improve my Jawline, yet I am aware of my bimaxillary protrusion of my front teeth. I have an overjet of 3mm. I have Class I occlusion and Class II malocclusion on my right side. I have never had any teeth extracted (including Wisdoms) and I do not want to extract any to pull my front teeth back. I have a deep labiomental fold and I am hoping Sliding Genioplasty could smoothen this out. I am also wondering If I could benefit from Double Jaw Surgery instead

Would a genioplasty or implant help me achieve a longer chin? (photos)
Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS says:

A deep mentolabial fold is an indication that the chin is short in the vertical plane. The best way to lengthen a chin and diminish the mentolabial fold is with a sliding genioplasty. Chin implants work well for horizontal movement of the chin. The genioplasty is performed in the office with an...

Can this genioplasty be corrected? (Photo)
Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS says:
