Thanks sgguy for your support.You are absolutely right about the self-esteem.Look,let's take the aesthetics side.I don't think of course that underbiters,or any other with jaw deformity are the ugliest persons,of course not.The worst for me is the self-esteem,that i am always aware of my jaw,and thi...

Highlando,how m...

Thanks for the support guys.Highlando,i have visited an orthodontist ,as well as an oral surgeon.The orthodontist make me think very positive,he said that these type of surgery nowdays happen frequently,and always with success.The oral surgeon was very expirienced,he had done 400 prochedures in his ...

hey guys recently in an article i read about mandibular surgery,and there were all the complications,the usual and the very rare that can happen.I read something about avascular necrosis...when it happens,i think the blood is not going to the jaw,or something like that.but it is an extremely rare to...

Renden,the results seems to be very good!But,it surpised me atfirst,because i thought your underbite would be corrected with BSSO.i didnt know that underbite can be corrected with lefort...
