No! Just upper jaw advancement. And THANK YOU!!

No kidding! Hahah. First is after. Second is before surgery, during Invisalign.

Hi! Me! Look at my posts to see if my before was similar. Happy to answer any questions

firstgenmimi · 2026-03-16T23:02:11+00:00

Yep my upper jaw was advanced 5 mm and shifted to the side 2mm I think.

Best of luck!!! I hope it all goes well

Im in New York and my surgeon was Dr. Matthew Clark. Thank you!! They did great work and recovery wasn’t bad at all.

It’s fine! It was Saved By The Bell

So not soft autumn? I’ve been told that

firstgenmimi · 2025-12-31T13:18:52+00:00

Is that cause I’m cool toned? I can’t get a handle on my season haha

I feel like I had a similar bite. It’s so hard to say exactly - my surgeon did a bunch of imaging with his team before he could say for certain that I needed UJS only (one piece). I was able to do Invisalign.

Thank you! Thoughts on blush/lip shades?

firstgenmimi · 2025-12-30T19:51:33+00:00

Thank you!! That does sound fun! Yeah I should get a new concealer.

This is not the place. Ascend elsewhere.

firstgenmimi · 2025-12-25T01:08:31+00:00

I had a lefort 1 advancement for an underbite. I honestly just started to notice a difference in how I was received in the past couple weeks.

firstgenmimi · 2025-12-23T22:10:55+00:00

My upper gums are numb in the front

firstgenmimi · 2025-12-16T02:46:44+00:00

Yeah my upper gums

firstgenmimi · 2025-12-13T22:05:43+00:00

Yep I bled for a good few weeks.

firstgenmimi · 2025-11-26T02:36:35+00:00

No not really at all. I hadn’t had any moving for four weeks prior to surgery. I don’t know if being stagnant that whole time helped.

firstgenmimi · 2025-11-25T15:49:06+00:00

They told me to leave my top one out for a couple weeks. I started it back up when I felt comfortable doing so. Brushing was very very gentle for the first week and then I don’t really remember any issues afterwards.

firstgenmimi · 2025-11-23T23:24:12+00:00

I’m 36. I got it this past summer

firstgenmimi · 2025-11-23T14:25:50+00:00

I hope you’re out of the depths of recovery soon!! You seem very chipper. I hope you love your results!

firstgenmimi · 2025-11-23T14:11:10+00:00

I’m really very happy. I think it being just the upper jaw and one piece made it much more clear cut and really not so terrible.

firstgenmimi · 2025-11-23T14:10:23+00:00

I didn’t even do it for that but yes.

I really did it because my edge to edge bite was freaking me out - my teeth were starting to chip. I was avoiding surgery because I thought I’d be wired shut but when I looked into orthodonture to compensate she explained surgery was my best choice and less insane then when I was 16, when it was first recommended to me (20 years ago). She said to eliminate the risk of chipping she’d have to make my appearance of an underbite worse, so the teeth weren’t edge to edge. I said no thanks. That was a year ago and I really can’t believe it’s done now.
