Re: Chin & Bottom lip numbness

[Guest guest]

Hello :

I had my lower jaw moved forward in December 2004. I had no feeling in part of

my chin or lower lip for three months. Subsequently, I have experienced various

levels of tingling, with a good deal of tingling activity over the past month.

My surgeon also stated that I had absolutely no nerve damage and that it could

take a year for all of my feeling to return.

This is truly a test of patience!

Hi everyone,

My name is and I'm a 21 year old who just had surgery 2 weeks

ago on July 23. I had my lower jaw moved forward.

My surgeon said that I had absolutely no nerve damage, yet ever since

the surgery my bottom lip and chin have been completely numb. He keeps

saying that the feeling will retun, but I am becoming impatient and

worried.

Has anyone else experienced any numbness and returning of feeling?

Hello and

I am new to this group but I have a question for you

I am considering lower jaw surgery to move it forward...I have a Class II

Division 1 malocclusion with an overjet of 7.8 millimeters, overbite of 80%

These are the measurements from my orthodontists.....I dont necessarily know

what these measurements mean

I am 36 male......can someone tell me what these figures mean in relation to

those of you who have had surgery?

thanks

Hello ,

I read the response from and if it is any consultation, I

have pretty much the same reply. My surgery was in February of this

year and I had some doubts because I have heard stories where the

numbness didn't subside in other patients from years ago. My surgeon

also told me there was no nerve damage and where I am one year from

the date of my surgery is where I will be. Not until a few days ago

did I finally start feeling minor tingling on the side I was worried

about, the left.

Many blessings and I wish you the best in your recovery.

Hello :

I also had a Class II malocclusion.....I had my lower jaw moved

forward........my upper jaw broadened and my gum line changed.

My orthodontist mentioned the measurements at one time, I truly do not remember

what the exact measurement was. However, from what I understand, the measurement

represents how far off your occlusion (bite) is.

Ask your orthodontist to explain it again.........

What was your reason for having the surgery? I have no pain or no 'issues' with

my mouth...other than the fact that I have an overbite....so mine is cosmetic

with hopes to improve appearance (like profile)

Everybody thinks I am crazy for having braces, surgery........

Did u see big changes in your face? or profile?

, I had surgery on the 28th and have the sane problem. My chin

is completely numb and my bottom lip is too. My top lip has feeling

though. I was told the same thing- that I had no nerve damage. I think

it is normal.

Hello :

1. TMJ

2. Periodontal disease which can result from malocclusion, and in my case, did

result from the malocclusion. I had three surgeries for periodontal disease

3. Upper teeth will eventually fall out because they have no support

4. Headaches

5. Other health issues

The bottom line is that the malocclusion can, and does, lead to serious health

issues. This is a very unhealthy state. I would check with your doctor regarding

the health issues you may have and are not yet aware of.

The insurance companies want you to believe this is a cosmetic surgery. It is

not. The require procedures are medical.
