Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 One of the problems my upper Le Fort and lower surgeries was meant to correct was a midline assymetry, where the midline of the bottom teeth was a good 3 - 4mm to the left from the top midline. Anyway, I'm now 5 weeks post op and healing up nicely, and the surgery did a good job of correcting my open bite, but the midlines still seem to be 1 to 2mm off. Each time I've gone in for my weekly post-op checkups, though, my surgeon had assured me that everything looked great, and that the midlines were perfect, even when I brought up my specific concern. So I'm at the one time reassured that my OS thinks everything looks great, and at the same time a bit frustrated. I mean, I'm not blind. I can see that the midlines are off by a little bit, but my surgeon doesn't seem to think there's a problem. Did anyone else notice assymetric midlines post-op, and was it something that could be corrected with post-op orthodontic treatment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
