Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hello, Is anyone familar with a procedure called a Sub-apical or segmental osteotomy. On me this would be an operation to move the front teeth of the mandible to close spaces where my bicuspids were. I think it involves cutting out the segment where my 6 incisors are and moving this portion back to close the spaces on either side. I believe bone plates and screws would hold it in place until bone heals. I will have mandibular advancement at same time. Not quite sure about this part of the operation. Any thoughts?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
