Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 I had lower jaw advancement on May 5 2004 – exactly one year ago. My feelings are mixed about the surgery. Although, I'm somewhat happy with the results, I'm not happy about the resulting asymmetry. I recently learned that surgeons have about a 2mm accuracy. In my opinion, this is enough to show asymmetry. Of course, this is a moot point if your jaw or bite is in bad shape before the surgery; however, if you're doing the surgery on minor bite problems (less than 6mm), I would NOT recommend the surgery since the surgeon can only be accurate up to 2mm… By the way, my jaw is fully healed and I have no numbness (in fact, i had full sensation after 2months). Unfortunately, I'm still in braces and will probably be for another 6 months… Funnily, the first thing I notice on people are their bites and teeth. I'm sure everyone else is the same….
