Re: still looking for any information about singers with orthognathic surgery

[Guest guest]

The only voice change that I noticed in myself was primarily that I

didn't " whistle " so much

on certain letters. It wasn't anything major to begin with, but I

found that certain words

were easier to pronounce once the wires came off, and my jaw had been

exercised for a

while.

If anything you'll notice an improvement, but as to the actual

quality of your voice not

enough will have changed to make any sort of a difference.

Hi :

I wanted to give you and others an update on my voice. If you

recall, I have a problem with the nasal resonance of my voice after I

had upper and lower done last November. I also had a severely

deviated septum along with a septal hole caused from the procedure.

In May, I went to an ENT to correct the deviation. He explained that

the hole was causing a resonance problem with my voice, so he also

repaired this hole. Since then it has re-opened and he wants to try

again later this year to fix it. Today, I went to another ENT who

said that he did not think the hole was causing this problem. To be

sure, he is going to place a plastic septal button in the hole and

see if it helps before I go for another surgery. This second ENT

explained that maxillary surgery can change the resonance of a

person's voice. I am baffled why it has affected mine in such a

negative way. Others on this post have mentioned changes, but they

have been positive ones.

I am hoping the button will at least help or that after my sinuses

settle down from these surgeries will allow it to return to normal.

Please let me know if you get other feedback.

Thanks

Mark

Hi :

I'm not sure what defines maxillary surgery, but I think the upper

jaw surgery also known as the LeForte procedure is what can change

your voice resonance because it affects the chambers of the sinuses

which contribute to a persons distinct voice sound.

No, I didn't have a cleft palate, my voice was perfect before. I

only had the upper jaw surgery to level off my bite. I had a choice

to just have my lower advanced and I wish I had stuck to that had I

known about the voice changes. I would not have minded if my voice

had changed, but surely not to a nasally sounding one.

I wish I could provide better input. My situation may be very

unusual and hope it doesn't scare you or send you down the wrong

path. On a brighter note, It did improve my smile, bite and apperance

overall. I will try to get the before and after pics scanned and get

them up here later this week.

Thanks for your input as well.
