Got my braces off recently (only two and a half months after surgery) and thought I'd share my results! I had (in not very technical terms...) the top jaw moved up and forward, I had a cant which they corrected by moving one side up more than the other. I also had the bottom jaw moved forward 8mm. Hope that made sense- I never did get my head round the proper terms!
I haven't got a profile one currently- I keep forgetting to ask someone to take one! But I feel much better about my face from the front- the 'before' photo doesn't show it but I used to not be able to close my mouth and now I can! That's a huge difference for everyone who knows me I have most of the feeling back in my face, except for half of my bottom lip and a small area in my chin. It took about 4 weeks for most the feeling to come back!I breathe through my nose now, I used to breathe exclusively through my mouth. Chewing is now so easy compared to before- I feel like I have a blender in my mouth!
Had surgery 3 months ago, just after my 20th birthday! The first picture was when I was 17, literally a week before my braces went on! Nope no genio for me, I sometimes wonder if I should have done but hey too late now!
do you not have profile pics? that would give us a much better idea. you look pretty much the same to me in both pics.
