Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) is a surgery performed to correct deformities of the lower jaw
Correct :
Mandibular prognathism (lower jaw too far forward)
Mandibular retrognathism (lower jaw too far back)
Facial asymmetry
Improve bite alignment (occlusion), speech, chewing, and facial aesthetics.
Intraoral approach → no external scars
Strong bone contact → fast healing and stability
Allows three-dimensional repositioning of the jaw.
