First time poster here... i have a couple of issues with my jaw/face alligment that i can't quite wrap my head around so i'm hoping for some feedback. also my english is not that great so i hope you understand me
...anyway, i was in braces for 4 years (crowding, deep bite)....my teeth were extremly crowded and they were tinted inwards....while the ortodontic work did give me straight teeth my functional and estethic issues remain....
Functional :
have trouble chewing on the right side (it seems my jaw is slanted)
right side of my face seem to be less functional apparent whem smiling or talking-less bone support?)
mouth breathing during sleep
excess saliva
occasional clicking noises
Esthetic :
midface/paranasal flatness (dull/flat face expression)
lip incompetence (lower lip protrudes/also upper&lower lip don't quite match together)
fleshy/childlike apperance (even when BF is low)
dented mouth area/nasolabial lines (funny enough this was less obvious during the ortodonthic work due to the bulk of the braces)
So my guess is retrognathic profile/recessed maxilla...would i be a good candidate for maxillomandibular advancement? I did some email consultation with dr yaremchuk in the past but he only mentioned midface deficiency ( he advised orbital rim/cheekbone implants). if my jaws are recessed i think i would get a more natural result with jaw surgery. would jaw advancment have a positive impact on the midface?
