Thats amazing congrats on being surgery free!

Is hyrex a new appliance? Why have I never heard of any orthodontists I have been to using it?

I have quite a bit of asymmetry between my right/left parts of my face. Im getting the Lefort I and wondering if this surgery could help with that

Thanks

Im getting the Lefort I. Does your total NOSE widen from that or just the nostrils?

Will my cheekbones be less "flat" after this?

thanks:)

I would just get them removed.. the recovery wasnt too bad for me for my wisdom tooth extraction. Good luck

OUCHHHH. Definitely share your concerns with your ortho.. good luck

Good for you:) never stop improving right? braces definitely make you look younger lol

Most surgeons don't perform SARPE unless there is a functional reason for it.. and no it is an outpatient procedure usually.

Good luck

Many adults claim to get widening/better facial aesthetics with damon braces or homeblock appliance so those are some options to maybe look into
Good luck

It seems that the gap only lasts about a month for most people. There are lots of tutorials on youtube on how to hide the gap using wax, etc. Good luck
