What to do if the jaw angle is asymmetrical?

The mandibular angle is one of the basic parts of people's image. Although the size and shape of the mandibular angle are not easy to attract people's attention, its position and effect on the image are uniquely important. By improving the shape of the mandibular angle, the purpose of improving the overall facial image can be well achieved. For example, what should we do if the mandibular angle is asymmetrical? Let's take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

Advantages: simple and safe operation, less bleeding.

Disadvantages: Limited effect. Suitable for those who have a moderate mandibular angle and a wide mandibular angle when viewed from the front.

2. Osteotomy of mandibular angle or tangential osteotomy of mandibular angle. This surgery involves first drilling or notching with a ball drill, then removing the mandibular angle and outer plate with a thin bone knife, or using a reciprocating saw to directly cut off the outer plate of the mandible, retaining the cancellous bone and inner plate. Like the bone grinding method, the mandibular angle is not removed, so the original curvature of the mandible is retained, but the width of the mandibular angle is narrowed, and the improvement in the side view is not significant.

Advantages: It preserves the original mandibular curvature and is suitable for those who want to narrow the mandibular width while preserving the mandibular angle.

Disadvantages: The improvement is limited; since a bone knife is used for splitting during the operation, violent operation may cause fractures, and there is also a risk of damage to the inferior alveolar nerve.

Long Curved Jaw Angle Surgery

Advantages: One-time cutting, completed in one go, less damage, shorter time and faster recovery. Based on the aesthetics of the mandibular angle curvature, the distance between the cutting line and the mandibular alveolar nerve is increased, which has low risk and complies with the force principle of the mandibular angle. Special mandibular angle instrument to solve the problem of outer plate and inner plate. The curvature of the mandibular angle is aesthetically pleasing and has a beautiful appearance. Little to no sanding is required after a cut.
