Can Maxillary Alveolar Protrusion Be Masked By Custom Midface Implants?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Is it possible to reduce the appearance of maxillary alveolar protrusion with custom implants? Say like paranasal combined with custom cheek implants if someone was trying to avoid jaw surgery to reposition jaws?
A: Theoretically midface augmentation should make the maxillary alveolar protrusion look less so. Computer imaging in profile will provide better insight into that potential effect.
