Maxillary Impaction Followed by Gum Contouring/bonding?

June 19, 2011
Asked By:sahra007 in Ohio, OH

Hi doctors, I just had osteotomy le fort 1 impaction done 3 weeks ago for my gummy smile, although i am loving the result (from 9mm to 2mm). I really want to have a gum contouring done, not to have the gummy smile fixed but because my gums are so uneven. I also broke a little piece of my tooth so i wanted to have some bonding done as well. Can i have those procedures done without jeopardizing my jaw surgery? if so when is the earliest possible? and can i do theme while i have braces? Thanks.
