Lantern Jaw Surgery

A lantern jaw is caused by excessive growth of the lower jaw, which is when the lower jaw protrudes forward or is long below. Since the lantern jaws accompany malocclusion between the upper and lower teeth, double-jaw surgery is necessary, and if only jawbone is protruded and the joint is correct, the genioplasty and facial contouring surgery can be done.
