Re: SARPE vs LeFort I

Hi all! I actually have now had both SARPE and Lefort done. My SARPE was done in 2011 and my Lefort (and lower jaw surgery) was done this past June 14th). I had to have the Lefort done because of a 3mm over expansion of my upper jaw. My teeth essentially were not lining up with the middle of my face...

Re: SARPE picture progress.. I still hate this gap 4 month l

I had this done and it was absolutely miserable! The surgery itself wasn't THAT bad... it was the miserable gap between my two front teeth and the speech problems I had as a result of the gap/appliance. Now that it's been a good year and a half since SARPE and everything has come back together so n...

Re: SARPE picture progress.. I still hate this gap 4 month l

Had another Ortho appt... I have two wires and steal rods (i believe) at the top.... this wasnt the original plan for today... but the ortho wants to try kinda forcing this top right tooth back into the gum while he begins to start the process of closing my gap again. I came home today to .5mm worth...

Re: SARPE picture progress.. I still hate this gap 4 month l

They don't know what to do. This is a 1st for them both. My ortho is being very gentle (which means everthing is going 10x slower) so that the tooth doesnt push thru the gum or end up with nerve damage. It's very frustrating. No one has real answers. We are just going visit by visit at this point.

Issues with teeth after SARPE

Re: SARPE picture progress.. I still hate this gap 4 month l

I had SARPE past september 16th (i'm in day 10 post op) and today i'm still swollen and i don't know if that's normal or not. Almost videos in youtube i saw, people...

Re: SARPE picture progress.. I still hate this gap 4 month l

That's good. Hang in there. Other than the gap, things are looking very pretty :wink: Thanks so much. I deg agree. If it wasn't for my 1 front tooth things would be moving more. But it was pushing out the gum and my ortho is taking everything really slow now. Just makes me sad cuz everyone else doe...

Re: SARPE picture progress.. I still hate this gap 7 month l
