Advice please. Lip incompetence. What surgery should I get?

#1 Post by tretreor »

Hello everyone. Im new to this site and have so much questions but I start with this one.
I had braces when I was 15 that made my face so much worse. I should have got jaw surgery but my dentist said: No, thats no nessicary.

I have lip incompetence, always have my mouth open. I HATE my profile. No chin. Always a mouth breather. Gummysmile when I smile (hate it).

Please give me some advice you guys what you think and would be awesome If there was other people who have/had the same issues that could give me some tips and advice. What surgery did you get, are you satiesfied etc etc.

Sorry my english is bad, its not my first language.

Take care! :-)

Hi Tretreor,

Have you spoken with a maxillofacial surgeon about this? A qualified maxillofacial surgeon that specializes in corrective jaw surgery should be able to give you the best prognosis.

Do you suffer from any breathing issues I wonder?
