The operation is more delicate and ingenious in setting the wound, the recovery period is greatly shortened, the surgical trauma is small, there is basically no trace after the operation, the face change is immediate, and the satisfaction is high. Suitable for patients with mild short chin.
For patients with moderate and severe mandibular retrusion, it is more cost-effective to implant prosthesis than osteotomy advancement, because prosthesis implantation can avoid the risks and injuries caused by osteotomy advancement and the high cost.
Moreover, due to the limited distance of osteotomy, patients with severe mandibular retrusion still need to implant prostheses to increase the mental protrusion after osteotomy, which undoubtedly increases unnecessary risks, injuries and high costs. It is better to simply implant prostheses to correct it.
Of course, for people who are worried about rejection, bone resorption, prosthesis infection, etc. For the real effect, osteotomy forward can also fundamentally solve the problem of short chin and then become warped, and avoid the above situation.
Generally speaking, prosthesis implantation is recommended for people with simple chin retraction, low deformity and chin neck angle, but the occlusal relationship between upper and lower jaws is basically coordinated, especially for people with mild and moderate chin shortening deformity.
For those who are worried about rejection, bone resorption, prosthesis infection, etc. For the real effect, osteotomy forward is the best choice.
