Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 If you would consider having surgery in Miami, Florida, I have a wonderful surgeon. My surgery was over one year ago and I am very pleased with my results. You can view my photos in the photo section of this website unfder " Miami " . Email me if you want info on my surgeon.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Hi, Your surgeon should tell you beforehand if he/she is planning on using rigid fixation or not. My surgeon told me he has been using rigid fixation for pretty much the whole time he has been practicing. He said it is very very unusual to need to wire somebody after such type of surgery, but he had to do it once or twice in his career. However, I would imagine that in certain cases it might be necessary, for example, when the bone doesn't break cleanly, or when the bone is too brittle. Certain circumstances might come up during surgery that could necessitate to change the intended course of action. Make sure you discuss all of this with your surgeon. In terms of finding good surgeons, word of mouth is a good start. I would also look for somebody who has been practicing for at least 10 years, and preferrably, affiliated with a dental school. You don't necessarily want somebody who will be over confident that everything will go just great, but someone who will give you an accurate picture of what you can expect in terms of side effects, pain, expense, etc. Irene. > > Hello to everyone I think this is a marvellous group, very > helpful first of all tell you ,sorry about my English I wish I had > paid more attention at my English class .I am 24 years old man from > Spain but I am doing my surgery in United states ,meanwhile I am > doing the orthodontic treatment in Spain.
