Hey guys, a couple of months back I made a post stating that I was unsure of the genioplasty I was scheduled for. Today I was at consultation and was ready to say no to the genioplasty, but before I could say anything, he said that he had changed his mind and offered me the full BiMax surgery with a genioplasty. I was very happy because this would help with both the functional and aesthetic problem.
I know that I’ll need braces to get my bite ready for the surgery, but I’m pretty sure that these will make my dental arch narrower. I didn’t get to ask him about the room for my tongue, and that is really important to me.
At the x-ray afterpictures it looks like my arch is narrower. My question is basically: will I get more room to fit my tongue between my teeth with this surgery, or will I need jaw expansion for this to happen?
As u can see on the picture, my tongue has marks from my teeth from trying to fit it against the palate.
EDIT: I can’t attach photos, but I don’t think they are essential to answer my question either way.
