There are two surgery methods which can be used to retract the jaws. The choice of surgery method would depend on the severity of the protrusion.
Double jaw surgery is a procedure known as Bimaxillary Osteotomy, which helps to retract protruded upper and lower jaw at the same time.
In this method, the upper and lower jaws are fractured in specific angles after making an incision inside the mouth. Then the bones will be moved to the most appropriate position, fixing them with metal pins and, sometimes, plaques to prevent this position from shifting in the recovery phase.
