thank you that helped alot! i have an ortho appointment tomorrow so maybe they'll help me out too.

hello guys, i am one week after my bsso and chin inplant. when i look in the mirror i want to cry i don't like my face...is it going to look better. i have no feeling in my chinn area and it is still puffy. my os says that it will take 2 more weeks for the swollewing to go down. I have lots of pain...

my midline if off just a little but its not my lower its my upper that causing it to be off and it makes my face look a little asymmetrical. Can elastics correct this?

Anyone ever experience the feeling that the elastics is pulling your nose down? and i do notice a difference in my nose, not that its a bad difference but it feels kinda weird!

Not gaps between my teeth but a gap between my lower and upper teeth near my canines. I'm guessing since surgery to setback my lower, ortho work will finish it off by just closing with elastics. My teeth are perfectly straight, all that really needs to be done in my opinion is finishing touches like...

I'm going to give the asymmetry some time to heal before i start jumping to conclusions but i have another concern...before my teeth were edge to edge in the front, the upper teeth touched the tip of the lower so the goal was to get my upper teeth to overlap my lowers, but i still have gaps on the s...

Meryaten, I hope its just the swelling because the lop-sided side is more swollen then the other side, im guessing he did more work on that side...But it just worries me at times. And im scheduled for Ortho June 18th, does ortho work give alot more improvement after surgery? Arvensis, I also have to...

I had BSSO and genio April 30th. They corrected my undebite and rotated it to the left to correct my asymmetry and genio on the chin. I just had my splint removed May 27 and my teeth look alot better than they did before but my molars dont meet and the asymmetry is still slightly there. I know molar...

i had genio along with BSSO.

i get tired of layin down all the time. I was telling my mother this morning (in sign language lol) that i see why babies cry so much to be held, Laying down so much gives me a head ache. Anyway, this splint is becoming apart of my mouth now...im getting so use to it, i have so many wires and rubber...

DAY 4! I feeling alot better. Im able to actually stay on the computer longer than before without feeling light headed. Swelling still looks the same and its still kinda hard for me to eat.... i dont want to loose weight or I'm going disappear :lol: I have a to go to start therapy Tues. and my OS wi...

my swelling seems like its getting worse...how would i know if i have an infection?

My OS also said that lower jaw adjustments can change the nose as well. i noticed a difference even tho im only 2 days post op. maybe its just the swelling but my nose looks more normal

Surgery went well from what my OS and his team said. My swelling isnt as bad as i expected, my face just looks huge. Far as pain, im kinda in pain now as i type and its really hard for me to breathe so i'm going to make this kinda brief so i can lay down for a while. i havent been able to drink at a...
