3 piece lefort 1

#1 Post by zanes12345 »

Did anyone get gaps in their teeth after getting a three piece lefort 1? I have a narrow upper jaw and the surgeon said to do a 3 piece lefort 1 instead of sarpe but since he's expanding my upper jaw I'm assuming there's going to be gaps.

Braces afterwards should be able to fix that. 3-piece is scary in my opinion tho. There’s no hardware or screws holding that front piece on, just the braces, is my understanding. There was a link floating around a while back on here about a girl who lost the front section. :|

I think you will be asked to wear braces after the process. It should work fine.
