Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hi everyone, I have just started treatment with braces, and I will be going through lower jaw surgery for a moderate underbite and my jaw is also shifted to the right a little. I have noticed that the middle of my upper lip does not line up with the midline of my top teeth, and my upper and lower lips are just crooked in different directions whether smiling or not. When I try to line up my midlines by shifting my jaw to the left, my lips are still crooked. Does/Did anybody have this problem before/after the surgery, and is this common? I am worried that after the surgery, my lips will still be crooked even though my bite is perfectly aligned. Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
