Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 At my last appt with my ortho, he put 2 springs between my eye teeth and the ones behind them. He mentioned something like " I think that's where they'll make the cuts " . The problem is, I barely know *anything* about my surgery except that my upper jaw will be moved forward and my lower jaw moved back. Looking at some LeFort pics I didn't notice any that showed cuts being made in those places so I'm at a loss. Is this normal? The assistant working on me (who put the springs in) said she worked for another ortho before who never did this. I assume it's to make a space between my teeth for the cuts to be made, but it seems like an odd spot. I was never told exactly what will be done during my surgery and I think I may be having SARPE as well. Anybody else have cuts made in a similar place? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
