Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Okay, I finally posted a few pictures. I wanted to wait till the swelling subsided, but it appears that may take a while... if you look closely you'll notice the swelling makes my face uneven. I had a 9mm overjet before braces. After 10 months in braces my overjet was only about 5mm. Basically, I had lower jaw advancement to correct a 5mm overjet. I truly believe that i would have been happy with the 5mm overjet and should have avoided the surgery. However, i'm not sure if that was an option... Anyways, the pics can be found on 's Ortho2 site: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/orthognathicsurgerysite2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
