Re: Just hadupper jaw surgery and had a question

[Guest guest]

, it depends on what just a little is. It also depends on what

you are using as a reference point. If your reference is the middle of

your upper lip then swelling may make it seem off. With me at about

day 4 when the lip swelling went down enough I took a piece of dental

floss and ran it from the middle of my eyes to the middle of my chin.

I noticed that everything lined up except for my upper jaw. Mine was

off by about 3mm and since the bottom was fine it gave me a cross bite

that I will need fixed. If your bite is fine and it's only off by a

little bit your OS may just adjust your banding to try and bring it in

line or your ortho may be able to correct it. I would definately

mention it to him at the next visit. good luck/eric

Hey , thanks for the quick reply......i might be

misunderstanding the midline term because my bite it exactly on

except for my teeth positioning. My top row of teeth and the line

between the two front teeth doesnt match right up with the lower set

up teeth. the lower middleline between the two front bottom teeth

is off center from the top row by not even a tooth. if i would run a

string from between my eyes down my nose, and to my chin, the line

from the top and bottom is off by a hair. like i said not even

close to being much of anything. if anything those teeth will be

adjusted with the braces after to even that line. the doc told me to

bite this morning and he said that it turned out just right....so i

think im in the clear let me know what you think.

thanks and look to hear from ya....

I had upper, lower, and a genioplasty. The surgeon had to cut the

band that goes across my braces on my upper teeth. So, my front

teeth are all crooked again. He said that one of my front teeth will

be in front one day and the other one will be in front the next day.

He said not to worry though. That my midline will be fine once I go

back to the ortho. You may want to ask your surgeon. Hope this

helps. Take care.

, it sounds cosmetic and not much to worry about especially if

you've got braces on that can correct it and your bite is ok.
