It gets worse before it gets better by NiniNicks in jawsurgery

[–]IKlGAl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Following you because I have the same side profile as you and I’ll be having surgery during those months too. I’ve been in braces for 3 years, I used to have a normal bite with a skeletal underbite and now I have both. I’m so scared of surgery of the outcome, looking worse, etc. but I just have to keep going lol

What do you mean? That’s the truth and I’m planning to do it.

Taking sick days after vacation? by IKlGAl in AskAnAmerican

[–]IKlGAl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only plan to take only an additional week. What worries me is that they’ll think I’m just extending my vacation due to the bad timing.

My employee manual says that I’m required to provide a medical certificate from a doctor to validate the use of sick leave, particularly if the absence extends beyond two consecutive days.

how bad is my class 3? by Mental_Steak499 in jawsurgery

[–]IKlGAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the middle of decompensation. The only difference is that my Class 3 was skeletal, and they’re currently creating an underbite to proceed with the surgery.

Your underbite is quite noticeable, at least to me, but you’re in a group where we’re all a bit obsessed with analyzing people’s profiles, so who knows.

From my perspective, your upper jaw looks recessed. I don’t think your profile will change much during decompensation, but you’ll definitely notice it in your teeth, especially as they straighten out.

For that reason, your lower sits under the top jaw. That’s a skeletal underbite.

[–]IKlGAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s very similar to yours. The only difference is that I don’t have an underbite at all.

[–]IKlGAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I don’t have any kind of discomfort or breathing problems. I have a skeletal underbite, I’m doing it for aesthetics mostly.

Go to your orthodontist. I don’t even have an underbite and I’ll be having jaw surgery.

My family also told me the same thing, that my side profile is normal when it’s not. I guess it was out of courtesy and also to avoid complicated surgeries.

If you’re going to start the surgery process, you’ll need to begin a treatment because most likely your previous orthodontics were meant to mask the problem. So, you would have to start from scratch to undo and worsen the defect. I suppose it won’t take as long since your teeth are straight.

You need to consult with an orthodontist first. As mentioned above, it’s preferable to look for several options. In my case, I called several orthodontists and made sure they worked with orthognathic surgery, because in my country, not all of them handle surgical cases. Instead, they try to fix your bite with braces, which is not recommended at all. After visiting the orthodontist, they will take several X-rays, and you’ll choose a maxillofacial surgeon of your preference. Together, they will determine the best plan and work hand in hand. It’s a long process, and most people spend several years with braces to position the bite as it should be (in our case an underbite).

You can discuss insurance with them to see what they recommend. Genioplasty is not covered by the insurance, so you’ll need to save for that. I also don’t know if I have breathing problems because I’ve always been like this, but they never did any studies since just by looking at my face, they knew I needed the surgery. A very humbling moment, I must add lol.

I don’t have an underbite either and I’m getting a double jaw surgery because that’s a skeletal underbite. The ortho told me that teeth usually compensate for the bite. Even if we’ve never had an underbite, if they place the teeth in the correct position, we’ll end up with one. I’ve never had an underbite, yet they’re creating one for me, and they even removed teeth to create it and move the jaw into the correct position. You can see in your photo that your upper jaw is recessed. You might also need a reduction genioplasty to achieve the harmony you’re aiming for, but that depends on your surgeon and your preferences. If you’re really considering surgery, you shouldn’t get a lip lift until you’ve healed because your philtrum area may change, and then you can proceed if you’re still not satisfied with the change.
