You need to have some tests before your doctor starts submaxilla and dental surgery and maxilla surgery processes. For example, you may be requested to have an x-ray for your maxilla. A whole examination for teeth and hard tissues are done with 2 dimension panoramic and 3 dimensions tomographic x-ray systems. Irregularities and problems, which may not be able to be realized during visual examination can be observed with the x-ray reports.

Genioplasty is applied when submaxilla or maxilla generally moves in a certain amount or there is a missed maxilla inside the chin. A procedure, called genioplasty, is applied in order to eliminate all these problems, in other Words to fix the chin in its new position. Typically, surgeons change the chin structure or re-structure the chin system during the same surgery.
