A 20 year old girl reported to our hospital wanting to correct her gummy smile. Also her protruding lower jaw affected her appearance. She had low self-esteem & she wanted to enhance her looks. She had already consulted many dentists and had braces for 3 years elsewhere, but she was not satisfied with the results. Her parents too were anxious to correct her smile and enhance her facial appearance before getting her married.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S. M. Balaji expertly planned for simultaneous correction of her both upper and lower jaw. Surgical correction of gummy smile was done with Le Fort I osteotomy to reduce the maxillary excess bone. Protruding lower jaw was set back intra orally with sagittal split osteotomy. Post operatively her appearance improved greatly & instantly due to excellent profile correction. She & her parents were very happy with the immediate results & that the jaw correction surgery was done without any scars on the face.
