Re: SARPE SURGERY: TEETH ARE NOW UNEVEN!

[Guest guest]

check out www.oehlers.net/jawsurgery

you can see that the expansion also did not go entirely even, the left

half of my teeth also moved more to one side than the right side. But

you'll be amazed how quickly they will put everything back in its

place with braces, and how beautiful it will look.

Plus my one front tooth was a bit longer than the other front teeth,

and they just filed it down (with a sort of sandpaper) but that was

completely in the end after the brackets came off. He also filed some

other teeth to match the shapes of both sides. That also made a big

difference in the endresult.

I believe that orthos are accustomed to doing a lot of leveling. I

don't know how they do it, but the brackets and wires can work

wonders. And if you're headed for more surgery down the line, there

are lots of things they can do. Impaction, rotation, etc.

I'd say mention your concern to your ortho, and ask him or her. Then

take the answer and try not to worry about it.
