Back froms OS
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 lower jaw.Now i have in mind upper too.He also noticed and told me that i have none problems with speech,and as i eat normally and don't have any tmj issues,probably i will never have.SO this is pure cosmetic for me.Don't know yet if i will do it
if your going to do it at all do it properly, let us know what u decide.

If they only said youd properly need both, then theres always the chance you may only need one doing after wearing braces. I orginally needed both jaws but after my ortho did such a good job ended up only needing lower. Or you could get a 2nd opinion to see if another surgeon agrees.

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 is only for lower i will go for it.
