Uneven jaw after SARPE?

#1 Post by Vantwins »

Anyone have one side of their jaw much lower than the other after SARPE? I feel the bone lower down on the roof of my mouth and my teeth are obviously much further down on that side. The orthodontist is going to try to fix it - putting my lower braces on sooner than planned and using rubber bands. If it doesn't solve the problem, the surgeon said he'll fix it during my lefort and BSSO next year. I'm so annoyed with this though!

I'm sorry! I am switching surgeons and the new one will hopefully fix this issue with the next surgery. My mouth looks like such a mess right now.
