Day 9, Updated pics on my website

[Guest guest]

Here are some updated pictures from pre-op to day 9. The last picture shows

that I have

somewhat of an overbite now. Do you guys think orthodontics can fix this, or

did my

surgeon screw up? He said my " I-teeth " are in the right spot, just those gaps

they put in

to section my jaw into 3 pieces make it look like I have somewhat of an

overbite.

I'm feeling pretty good. I haven't had any advil since 5 o'clock last night.

My nose is

getting better, but now my ears are all stuffy.

I also have somewhat of an overbite now, mabye I can post a pic later

when I get home. It's about 2-3 mm now I would guess, but it was more

immediately after the surgery. It looked alot like yours, but I don't

have a picture of it then. I was really worried too, because it

seemed as if I had more of an overbite after the surgery than before.

My orthodontist has me in class II elastics (Super Heavy Duty 6 oz.

3/16 " ), and I am just over 3 mos post op. I guess they are supposed

to move my top teeth back, molars and all, and slightly move my bottom

jaw forward. They are working, slowly albeit, but my teeth are

moving. (I did have to take the elastics off for a few weeks due to

jaw pain (as per my ortho's orders), so it slowed my progress a

little) I especially feel it in the top teeth and notice it in my lip

competency. Only one measly mm or so to go before my lips close at

rest!

So, I would trust your orthodontist, they should be able to correct

it. Especially if you have gaps, you will have a much easier time to

close the overbite. Good luck!
