It can change the shape and angle of the nose, especially in relation to your upper lip, and especially if you are having your jaw moved forward. It sounds like you may want to ask your surgeon about this if it concerns you.

Remember: your orthodontist knows your dental history and orthodontic condition best. I can guide you toward better orthodontic information than if you were left on your own and hopefully in doing so play a small part in your quest to achieve a beautiful, fully functional smile, but you should consider your orthodontist the best source of information.
