Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Hi, I have an underbite that is just big enough that the surgeon could either only advance my maxilla by 5-6 millimeters or reduce my mandible likewise. I had a consultation a few days ago and the OS said that he would rather advance my maxilla than mess with nerves in my mandible. I was looking at my teeth and it struck me that they're going to have to move it forward an awful lot to get it over my bottom teeth. Has anyone been in a similar situation and only had a maxillary advancement and how did you like the results? - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
