Why is there still lip incompetence after DJS to correct an overbite?

Question

I had DJS to correct an overbite. Is genioplasty needed?

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

If the goal is to improve lower lip incompetence then genioplasty may be helpful as your pictures do show a short chin. However as a female one must be careful of having the chin moved too far forward in trying to completely solve the lower lip incompetence. Computer imaging is needed to look at the aesthetics of how much increase in horizontal chin projection looks good to you.

Gerald Wittenberg, MSc, DMD (retired) · Answer

The support of the lower lip is the chin and the effect of the lower incisors. A genioplasty will help you achieve your goal
