yeah it seems that in this case she gained mid face projection...good
-
yeah could be...but ccw is our only option...even because steep occlusal planes post surgery are pretty ugly

I think it was a mistake to reduce her lower jaw (which was already small to begin with). She needed more CCW and some mandibular advancement. Her surgeon is setting her up for sleep apnea down the road.
maybe

Hello people commenting on my photos.
I'm Terra from openbiteblog and I just wanted to clarify that I am more than happy with my results. I had my lower jaw brought back because my upper jaw could not be advanced any more than it was with surgery, which was 3mm or I would look like a baboon. It was easily visible in the imaging and my surgeon agreed that it would not be aesthetically pleasing.
From seeing my surgeons previous cases and his style of surgery I was more than happy with what he did and I made it clear exactly how I wanted my chin and that I wanted the vertical drop on my lower jaw reduced as much as possible. Basically I wanted a straight jaw line.
Also to the person saying i was being "set up for sleep apnea"
I had severe sleep apnea prior to jaw surgery.
I used to have many nights where i would wake up with my throat collapsed and couldn't breathe. Since jaw surgery I haven't had any breathing issues. I can actually breathe perfectly through my nose for the first time in my life.
Thanks everyone who had nice things to say. Means a lot. It's been a tough road and I am more than happy that my sleep apnea is resolved, I no longer have chronic TMJ pain, and I can chew normally. To me the physical changes feel like a huge bonus.

Hey terra, I can't say I've read all your posts (a bit drunk right now tbh) but just wanted to say I used your pics because your pre surgery malocclusion status is very very similar to my own. Anterior open bite, cross bite, class 3 with a convex profile, etc.
anyhow I think to a limited extent I can extrapolate some of your results to my own (but soft tissue difference definitely suggest different results). just wanted to say you were already very attractive before and your results made you more so (while still maintaining your individual features that make you unique)
Check your PM's, I think I can learn a bit from you

yeah, her paranasal area looks great too! That is the exact type of result I'm looking for, if I got that cheekbone projection seems like it'd be more of a nonissue
good find pekay

i agree she gained more projection, but OT was the rounding of her lower face preventable at all? before her lower jaw sort of sloped down, now ur facial type is a straight up U. like 90* laterally. am i the only one seeing this?

No I see it too. I actually have that inward groove on the face from cheekbone to jawline and really like it, don't want to lose it like she did. Maybe cause her mandible was set back?

I think her surgeon did that "on purpose", says on his CV that he is a proud member of the Arnett Foundation
or who knows... maybe it isn't preventable at all
I think it suits certain people really well

^^I really like this result because her upper lip retained its curl as her maxilla was advanced. I don't know why the upper lip flattens in other cases, such as this:

Were these done by the same surgeon?

I think her results are really good- she looks soft and feminine (something I consider aesthetically pleasing), strong jaws and chins work with some faces but not others... Is it possible to get the bite right AND maintain lower face shape- it seems tricky. Wish I understood the mechanics behind this.
