Hello guys

I have a very narrow jaw, and i'm aiming to enlarge it by getting jaw implant to reach the ideal 90/95% ratio (bigonial/bizygo)

The problem is how to know exactly the needed size, because you can't predict soft tissues reaction..
So i'm afraid to have either a too short or too wide implant.

2 well rated surgerons told me 2 differents things. . .
the first told me i needed a 9 mm implant per side cause i have huge zygo/gonion gap + narrow jaw
the second after working with his design engineer told me i needed 5.5mm per side, wich whould lead to the best ratio.

So 5:5 to 9 is to complete different things, how to choose ?
If any of you guys know a bit about this, please give you toughts about those photos

photos :
1 = my scan
2 = 5.5 mm size per side
3 = 9mm size per side
4 = my basic face


thank you guys if you can give your opinion

i first thought that the gonion landmark would be the edge of the vertical zygo, but it seems too wide.
You got to add softs tissues..

Bump for you.
I'm not an expert but the 5.5mm per side version looks better:

To be honest something between 5.5 and 9 could work because it's a large difference, for example 7mm

so the size is all about a "more or less" thing ?
 
Both look good
it's not the shape, it's the size that i'm concerned with..

im afraid that the 5.5 is still too short
but also that the 9 will be too wide

again i'm aiming that 90/95% ratio
but with them fuckin soft tissues it's impossible to have a clear landmark for the implant to reach..

I was also thinking that, can’t you go something in between?
9mm you Can look eppleymaxxed
5 looks like its 0,9 ratio tho imo that still little

yeah, maybe 7mm seems the best.

but it's crazy how even surgeron can vary opinions

one claims 9mm
the other 5.5mm..

it's like gambling
