Recently read stuff about how important jaw line is important for attraction and stuff like that. I also believed I had issues because of the recessed jaw (sleep apnea, etc) Unfortunately after speaking with surgeons I have no real medical need for the surgery, and it wouldnt be covered. Would a genioplasty suffice, or would I have to look into going the full jaw surgery route. Ive also heard it helps with your nose, cheeks too. Would I see benefit with those areas as well?
My first surgery resulted in my midline being off. The second surgery fixed the midline but my maxilla was lifted too high resulting in no teeth show. Third surgery was supposed to bring down the maxilla but it wasn't brought down enough, so that I still have a strained smile that shows very little teeth. I am so distressed. All I wanted was a nice, straight smile, now I don't have a smile at all! Is a 4th surgery advisable and will it fix this? Anything else I can do.?
Hi, Im looking to have Bariatric surgery for my weight and pain related to it. But I also eventually want to have orthognathic surgery to fix my bite. Both impact my life negatively. Unfortunately, Id have to do Bariatric first, as Im saving up for jaw surgery since my insurance doesnt cover it. Is weight loss surgery a contraindication for orthognathic surgery due to the potential for calcium deficiency? Even if a person remains militant about vitamin intake? Both would change my life
Hello there, Can someone please tell me why is my mouth protruded? Is it my weak chin or is it the fact that my teeth project outwards too much? What can I do procedure wise in order to make it less protruded or at least in appearance. Thanks,
How can I improve my side profile? I m not that insecure of my smile or have any bite issues but I have mouth breathing issues especially at night and wake up really tired. And I also dont like my side profile it looks really flat. idk if its the jaw or the flat nose.
I honestly don't know what procedure would help me I've searched but haven't seen exactly what I should look at. I've heard I've had a recessed chin but my bite is perfect according to my ortho. The only issue I have is a deep bite which is getting fixed. This picture I took standing up straight against a wall
Everyone in my family has significant upper tooth show upon repose and while talking I do not I believe braces worsened this for me. Im very insecure about smiling and talking naturally and have been for several years. I have a very short philtrim so I am not sure. Maybe my teeth are small? I thought it may be the position my jaw has developed from wearing hawley retainers at night and not having proper tongue posture? Please help with advice on how to fix this!
Hi I had a lower jaw advancement surgery one year ago. My nerve was somehow damaged because I have feeling when I touch the skin but it hard to move my lower lip. Feels very stiff. I still have bumps and swelling around my lower lip and cheeks. My surgeon told me to do fillers but I dont want to add volume. Id like to understand if its soft tissue related, or residual swelling? What else can I do? Heard about steroid injections, micro needling, ultrasounds
