What is a Jaw Implant?

The jaw implant is an artificial material that is placed on the jaw bone and serves to change the shape, size and projection of the jaw.

• Those with asymmetry at the tip of the chin or the corners of the chin
• Those with jaw deformity due to trauma or congenital anomalies
