Uncomfortable bite
« on: August 01, 2021, 07:14:32 AM »
I’m a few weeks post-op DJS and I think the surgery went wrong. I still have an underbite on one side and now have an overbite on the other. My teeth don’t make contact anywhere except for my underbite. Has anyone had a bite like this post-op? I’m so upset and don’t even know where to start at this point to get it fixed. My doctor brushed everything off and rushed me out of the office.

It sounds like your first step should be getting a second opinion to confirm something is wrong. The surgeon might think (or hope) the bite can be fixed with orthodontics.

Yes, I know that’s his plan, he wants to cover up the bite with orthodontics. My lower jaw is severely slanted. The problem is I can’t find a good surgeon.
