| Because of severe, progressive temporomandibular joint degeneration, this woman's upper jaw grew too long, and too far back, causing her lower jaw to look too small, and her nose to look too large. Her lower jaw rotated backward making her chin appear weak, and creating a large gap between her upper and lower lips. She had pain in both joints and inability to chew a normal diet. |
|
|
|
|
After total TMJ reconstruction and orthognathic surgery to move the upper jaw up and forward, an excellent profile was developed, her bite was restored and her joint pain was almost completely eliminated. |
| Before orthognathic upper jaw surgery and total joint reconstruction, her bite was open in the front so she could not bite food with her front teeth. |

|
|
After orthodontic treatment, upper jaw orthognathic surgery, and total reconstruction of both temporomandibular joints, her bite was normal and beautiful. |
| This woman had a long history of severe, progressive temporomandibular joint degeneration. The joint degeneration caused an open bite malocclusion where the only teeth that touched were her molar teeth. The upper jaw grew too long, and tilted down on the right, causing too much gum tissue to show when she smiled. Her lower jaw rotated backward making her chin appear weak, and creating a large gap between her upper and lower lips. |
