Hi everyone, Most of you perhaps don't know me,because i haven't posting this forum so often.If you have the time read my story... I am an underbiter,which is quite big.3 years ago i said i want to get rid of it.So i searched a lot,visited ortho,then continued research,and i often learnt new stuff a...

Hi everyone,i want o know how much is the maximum setback in BSSO,without doing the upper jaw?And are there more risks if doing for big movement than small? I have also heard that IVRO is used for large setback,but the main disadvantage is that you are wired shut?Can anyone tell me about this method...

Relapsed you say?That means that your bite is now how it was before the surgery?

..for only cosmetic reasons?Let's suppose,for all you have done the surgery and suffered other problems like clicking,tmj pain,not able to chew properly,would you still do it if you didn't had these problems,but the only problem was aesthetic?

I decided what to do.I will visit one more surgeon and ortho.If they too will say that i need double jaw,i will not do it.end.I am doing this for cosmetic reasons,i have no speech problems,nor chewing problems.And the OS i visited said probably i will never have pain and other tmj problems.So if it ...

Well today i visited OS.And he told me that besides the lower jaw setback,i would probably will need the upper jaw brought forward (as i suspected from my research).He said that if i will do only the lower,they will bring it too back,and my face will seem small.All these years i thought only about l...

I understand that upper jaw movement can affect your nose because it is close to the nose,but lower too?Hmmm,that doesn't makes any sense to me because the mandible is like separate from teh skull?Anyone who had only lower jaw has your nose changed?Cause i love the shape of my nose,dont want it to c...

When does changes the shape of the nose?only with upper jaw fixed?Can the shape of the nose be changed with lower jaw setback only?

Today,while i was searching for some information about the surgery,i found an interesting site.It ws about the effects of surgery to airway space.It said that with advancment,the airway space gets a little bigger so it easy for people to breathe.But with setback,which reduces your lower jaw,the airw...

I have heard the same.That lower jaw advancement opens the airway space,so you can breathe easier.But for the underbiters,like myself who need setback,the airway gets smaller.I read it today,and i think this make sense.For setback more than 10mm,it is better to have and maxillary advancement.This ma...

Today,while i was searching for info about the effects of lower jaw setback on the airway size,i found some interesting things.The lower jaw advancement,opens the airway size,so many times it is easier for patient to breathe.But lower jaw setback does the opposite.The airway size gets smaller,so it ...

I think i understand u very well.My face looks also unhappy,like i am in bad mood all the time.But it is just the jaw which protrudes and makew us look like that

Hi everyone, A guy i know has an overbite.He said he want to do surgery,his overbite is big,and he wants to know what is the maximum movement for class II.And also how many mm can they move your genio.And last,if the movement required is too big,do they move your upper jaw also?Even if teh upper jaw...
