Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Hey , I had my lower done for the exact same reason. Yesterday was my 4 weeks post-op. I honestly didn't look into all the risks because I didn't want to make myself nervous. The only thing I worried about is how much pain I would be in when I woke up after the surgery. If you want to check out my progress, go here: http://donnie.piratemate.com/jaw_surgery/ That explains everything that's been going on. Scroll to the bottom to see it from the beginning. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 , I am having surgery in 14 days!!! I have a cross bite as well and my OS said it needs to be fixed because if not it will affect the way the bite fits....:#) Sadie wrote: The good news is my surgery date is nov 17th and getting closer everyday, the bad news is my OS said he may need to do upper/lower/genio and I was prepared for upper/genio. He is going to do the model surgery and let me know, but I have a question. The reason he noticed the lower may need to be done is because my midline if off, but the midline is off about 1.5mm and I can live with that, so if that is the only reason for the lower surgery why should I do it? Has anyone done lower for this reason and is it worth the risks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
