upper jaw surgery how many millimeters?

[Guest guest]

How many millimeters did they move yours? did they widen it too?

my mouth functions fine and you cant tell that my teeth have a class

3 relationship because my bottom teeth lean in and fit inside my top

ones. they don't know how many millimeters until they lean the teeth

out again but there saying 2 millimeters minimum and no more than 5.

oh and the surgeons also saying he might need a bone graft from my

hip.that freaks me out. The reason i went back to the orthodontist

after the first time i had braces is because i wanted an " out smile "

but is it worth it for when its a minor case? Or am I getting into a

whole set of problems all for the sake of vanity??

p.s

i'm not a dude

sorry for the dude thing. i had my entire maxilla advanced 6mm and

held in place with titanium bone plates. I spent 1 night in the

hospital. I saw the doc the next morning and I had two of the 6 bands

removed. Saw the doc a week later and he removed two more bands. I

see the doc tomorrow and the last of the bands will hopefully come out.

It isn't about vanity it is about a gross skeletal deformity. Bones

are important and if they are misshapen or in the wrong spot they will

cause lots of problems down the road. I had this problem for years and

I can already say that the surgery improved my hearing by reducing

pressure on my jaw joint. I also don't get the joint clicking that I

used to experience.

I didn't have mine widened but that has become a fairly common

proceedure
