i can understand the urge to figure out why but at this point a surgeon 99% of the time will not care unless it somehow affects treatment.

theyll perform a cephalometric study and do physical measurements...that's your treatment plan.

jaw surgery is standardized.

this! the reason why your face is where it is is not relevant euph!

once again, if the issue is with the mandible, I think it would be a mistake to try and correct it with movements of the maxilla to compensate. I don't want to just take doctors at their word, I want to understand the reasoning behind their decision making.

i agree, but im saying a surgeon isnt going to care about self-diagnosis. i guess if u put it in question format ud might get some straight answers but if ur like this is why i am x, y z fix me they'll just laugh inside.

good way to shop for surgeons imo

I say let them laugh, if it means walking away slightly more informed


also i hear so much about botched jobs and inappropriate movements given a person's pre-op status. i don't know about you guys but i don't have much interest in becoming a statistic
