Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 The original doc said I needed an expansion first, followed by upper and lower. They just couldn't tell how it was all going to fit together once the expansion was done. Then I saw the other doc and he asked the ortho to do a few minor adjustments, eliminated the need for the expansion and then told me lower only would be needed. I think doc #1 was going for extreme perfection. I told doc #2 I wasnt planning for a career in supermodeling. I still have a " small " mouth, but no longer have an overbite - a trade I was willing to take to save that kind of pain and suffering. Oh, and I think it looks great already! > > > Boy am i confused. How could there be so much of a variance > on what type of surgery.
