@Lazlo i was gonna update you guys soon, i was trying to find more info, distrax didnt reply, only mommaerts, I will post on my thread soon
@CAjaw Most only wear the braces for 6 months after surgery not up to a year, unless you go with less than ideal position to surgery I think, is posible that maybe you are wearing them more time now, and wont need as many months after surgery, how long till you think the teeth wont be inward?

I have no idea. I am wearing elastics, which according to my ortho will help my teeth tilt forward, but I have been wearing them since may and all they seem to do is make my underbite worse. My teeth are still as tilted as the day we put the braces on a year ago. My surgeon (Gunson) says tilting my teeth forward is a bracketing issue. I know he is the surgeon and not the ortho, but I can't help but think he is probably right at this point. I'm SO frustrated
Kristen:
Isn't Gunson consulting with your ortho? Maybe you need to switch to another ortho that Dr. Gunson can recommend.

He is, but I just switched to Gunson about 6wks ago. I'm sort of hoping that under his direction things will move a bit faster, but yes, I will definitely be asking him to suggest a few other ortho's I can consult with.

Unless they were tipping back badly I wouldn't bother trying to correct them, You'll just end up with a bunch of loose front teeth. Just make sure that the surgeon doesn't base his advancement solely on the relationship of your lower teeth to the uppers. Get yourself corrected skeletally which is the most important issue for us.
Also I'm of the opinion that 1 year should be long enough to correct your issue, don't be afraid to challenge your Orthodontist, they like are not superhuman and can be pretty stupid at times.
I had to wait 2 years for my surgery in braces, for seemingly no reason. I later found out that it was the first time my Ortho had treated my type of surgical case. Be onto it don't take what they say gospel, don't be afraid to challenge them if you feel something is off.
