Re: Re: Anyone has or had gummy smile?

[Guest guest]

I'm particularly interested in the lefort procedure.

I'm curious as to why you had the lefort done. I was

told to get a lefort 1 if I wanted to solve my

long-face, gummy smile problem. I so wish there was a

simpler solution. This lefort thing sounds so risky,

painful, and horrific. Did you find otherwise?

How did you find the courage to go through with it?

For me, everything else lines up, and from what I've

read here in this newsgroup, it sounds like I could

come out of surgery and need braces to fix-up any new

misalignments.

You had no complications?

Does 1 piece vs 2 piece or 3 piece mean?
