Title: Jaw surgery results vary
Post by: eripsa on September 25, 2014, 09:55:09 PM
Jaw surgery results vary greatly, but I noticed that people with wide jaws (lower and upper) tend to get remarkably better results. Is this because when you move the jaws forward/backward you cover more area if it is wide?

I wouldn't put much stock in this.  FWIW, both my jaws are very wide.  In fact my upper jaw will have to be narrowed when it comes forward.
