Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hi all, I am scheduled to have LeFort 1, BSSO and genio in Sept. I have a gummy smile, a " fuller mouth " , and overbite. I remember my OS remarking that the upper jaw would be moved up and back a little, while the lower would be brought forward to match (will check with him during my next visit, but that is a month away). But, all the material I have read (in the internet) on LeFort 1, only mention of the upper jaw being moved up (to address the gummy smile), and advanced for many cases. To correct a overbite, wouldn't the upper jaw need to be brought back (in conjection with the lower jaw being advanced to correct the bite)? Would like to hear the experience from other folks with similar cases. Thanks, Sriram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
