Title: drawbacks of advancing (BSSO) narrow lower jaw
Post by: Wheatsnax on March 25, 2017, 08:51:43 AM

will it look off given that the mandibular width stays narrow at the posterior reigon?

I don't know that it would look "off." I do think it might look better to me if there were more width- I don't know about distraction or procedures to change the lower arch form.

A surgeon told me that surgery to widen the lower arch is never stable which is why no one performs it.

It is performed, it's called MSDO. I believe IMDO can also do a similar thing .
