Re: Re: Has anybody had jaw surgery for uneven jaws?

[Guest guest]

hey there.

i think my case is pretty much that: more uneveness from side to side rather

than having an underbite or overbite...basically, my face pretty much goes like

to the right side but only very slightly and it's more me who notices this

except when i specifically point it out to pple..but the issue i have clinically

is basically no locked bite, cuz my upper jaw is smaller than the lower jaw and

it should be the opposite..so that's why my face goes to one side slightly..in

my case, then, i've just had an upper jaw expansion surgery done (oct. 24th),

but later on, i might need another surgery depending on whether or not that

completely corrected the issue of lopsidedness...(the second surgery..if they

decide it's needed, and if i even decide to have it, would be to also move the

lower jaw and also raise the upper jaw to get rid of a very gummy smile).
