Dear All,

hope you all do well. Well my journey began 1997. At first I got lose braces for upper and lower jaw. after that a weird looking gadget placed on my forehead and in the middle there was an area for gums which were connected to my upper jaw. probably to influence upper jaw growth. well after the treatment was finished. I was happy because result was nice. just a notice: I suffer under haemophilia a bleeding disorder.
well as mentioned. years passee and I kinda developed an underbite. to be honest I never paid that much attention to it and to be honest no one from my friends and orhr people mentioned that ever till I went to dentis who told me yeah you have a crossbite + underbite. I also posted my story in a very famous German forum. so if people from there are here as well, greetings to all of you.
so I went to surgeon. I have a maxilia retrognathie (dont know english expression). means upper jaw is behind or the growth was not that much and an lower jaw which seems larger. a bit of dish face deformaty. well because of my haemophilia such an surgery is a high risk. and my haematologist was not happy and she said to be honest you dont look that bad that I would say go for it. but she was so kind and planned the operation with surgeons. the surgeon daid I wont do bimax operation because bleeding risk for upper jaw I mean post bleeding is very high, but we can go for lower jaw. move it back. but now I think this is not the best way because to be honest when your middle face is flat like dish face and you move back the lower jaw rhen probably your nose look very prominent. I mean it is a very hard journey. braces, operation and of course you want to have best result at the end and nit just a compromise because of your haemophilia. My underlip looks a bit prominent compared to my upper lip. I have asked so many people, even around me people who I do not know if they see sonething strange in my face and I cant actually imagine but most of them said well to be honest we dont see anything. and when I said here look at my underlip and jaw then a couple of them said ohh well yeah just a bit but nothing to mention. I dont know of the are lying or not. some of them even said it suits your overall look. but well...I am thinking to forget all this things and move on with my life. I mean I know class III patients who look nuch more worse than me to be honest.

I think you look pretty good as it is, but the underbite is slightly noticable. The problem with only moving the lower jaw back is that it can lead to sagging of the face and it could also lead to less space for your tongue etc that in turn could lead to functional problems. How big of an underbite do you have? I think this would be a pretty straight-forward surgery for you if it weren't for the bleeding disorder. I don't know anything about it though so it's hard to say what you should do.

ryu1986:
about 4mm. yeah yöu can notice it. maybe slightly but I always think it is so huge and ppl are starring on it since I am into that topic. yeah bimax is risk. I thought: get braces, push back the lower tooth a bit and upper tooth a bit more outside just to create a kinda illusion so just the underlip goes a bit back.
