Correcting a prognathic jaw through orthognathic surgery.

Patient Concern
A prognathic profile — a condition where the lower jaw protrudes significantly beyond the upper — creating not only a striking facial imbalance but also a compromised bite that affected everyday function, including chewing and speaking.
Treatment Performed
Orthognathic surgery combining a mandibular setback and a maxillary advancement, repositioning both jaws simultaneously to achieve a result neither procedure could deliver alone — the product of careful planning and multidisciplinary collaboration.
Outcome
A profound transformation: the profile shifted from a forward, aggressive lower face to one of natural harmony and proportion, and the teeth now meet in a proper occlusion — letting the patient chew efficiently and comfortably for the first time.
