Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Hi.. I'm a 39 year old male with surgery scheduled for December 13. Really have the jitters today! So here is what I've been diagnosed with: " Full step II malocclusion with 12.0 mm of overjet. Edge to edge left posterior cross bite. Severe mandibular retrognathia. Maxilla is vertically deficient and has mild transverse maxillary hypoplasia. Mild progenia. " Treatment plan: " Orthognathic surgery consisting of a bilateral sagittal split mandbular osteotomy with advancement and rigid fixation. Le Fort I Osteotomy to expend and correct the posterior cross bite and also down graft anteriorly to give more incisor show. Adjust occlusal plan to reduce progenia. " Whew.. I'm college educated and I am lost in a world of oral surgery Jeopardy. I'll take " things only I know for $100, . " Just wanted to introduce myself and see if any of this looks famililar to anyone. Color me nervous ... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
