Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Hi all, Just got back from my OD appt this morning. He really didn't do much at all except glance at all the hooks and brackets to make sure nothing was broken. He informed me that my OS will be tilting the entire jaw to where the upper jaw will be tilted back and the lower jaw will be tilted forward. He then stated at that point the front 4 teeth will be brought down to fit over the bottom teeth. Then after that the other 2 segments of the upper jaw will be widened. I still don't see how all of this is going to work, but as long as my OS knows what he is doing, then I guess I will have to put my trust in his hands! By looking at my bite you would think that the upper jaw would need to be brought forward instead of tilted back. I then of course had to ask about that flared nose look and he did state that yes there will be a slight change in appearance that shouldn't be noticed to much unless you compared my before and after pictures side by side. So I hope he is right on that one. He did state that after the surgery when I smile I will have less upper teeth and gums showing. I kind of like my big teeth smile...(haha) Anyway, that's it for today's appt., I will brief everyone on my appt. with my OS tomorrow! Have a Great Day, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
