When the lower jaw is severely protruding and not in proper alignment with the upper jaw, it causes difficulty in biting, chewing, speaking and also affects the facial appearance. With corrective jaw surgery or orthognathic surgery, the jaws can be reshaped and aligned in normal balanced occlusion.
Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (Obwegeser’s) is done for surgical correction of the skeletal defect of protruding lower jaw. In this the lower jaw is reshaped and set in precise alignment to enhance the appearance and achieve proper bite. This procedure is done from inside the mouth so there are no scars.
