I am not sure I completely understand the whole situation, but... How about retraining yourself to not tilt your head? If you don't tilt your head, will everything be level? I would personally be hesitant to even do the 1st surgery, but the 2nd one seems kind of insane, especially knowing that even a surgeon does not recommend it.MrNovember wrote:When I had the surgery, the surgeon's objective was to rotate the jaw to lower the right side by 3mm so that my teeth would be level. I think we did come close to acheiving that goal. However we didn't take into account my natural head tilt, so the final result fell short of the degree of symmetry I was hoping for.
Unfortunately, in your eyes you may just never achieve the perfection in the symmetry. It is impossible, and I am sure you have been told that many times. I do understand you though, I am a perfectionist in symmetry myself. However, we are not machines, we are live humans and our bodies are never symmetrical. I bet you anything, that your spine and skull are not symmetrical, and by trying to manipulate the mandible seated on an asymmetrical base you will never achieve perfection. I know it may be hard to comprehend, as I am still comprehending it myself LOL
Ask yourself what will happen if one day you stop tilting your head, or start tilting it another direction? Another surgery? Just a thought from someone who is really obsessed with symmetry
