A member asked:
Can there be an operation to make your jaw larger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mandible augmentatio: You want your mandible to be larger. Yes surgery to bring the mandible forward is a surgery for malocclusion. A maxillofacial surgeon will work with your orthodontist. Your jaw line will improve. You may decrease the risk of tmj. Be well and walk everyday for health.
