Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 -Hello and welcome to the group! I, too, have an underbite and am 47, so I've had mine alot longer than you've had yours! I just got my brackets on last week, so I'm at the beginning of this process. I will be having a BSSO (mandibular set-back), as well as a LeFort (maxillary advancement), as my OMS told me that I have a midface deficit (maxilla failed to grow long enough and far enough downward). Are these the same procedures you will be having? My surgery will be some time next summer. This group is awesome - you will learn alot about everything having to do with Orthognathic Surgery.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 -Hi all I also live in VA; in Northern neck of the state. I've been in braces since Feb 05. I'm having my surgery in Dec upper and lower to correct a class III underbite. Meeting with my OS friday to get more details about the surgery. Its been a slow go of things cant wait to have it done and start the healing. Its nice to hear that some folks from VA on the this message board. -- In orthognathicsurgerysupport , " megan_va " <megan0980@h...> wrote: > Hey Mike...I live in Norfolk, having my surgery in Portsmouth at the > Naval Hospital.
