I am brand new to the forum and this is my 1st post! I am female and 27 years old but I have been lurking on any and all forums that talk about aesthetics, midface def, orthodontics, etc. for close to 6 months. So far I have consulted in person with Dr. Hang DDS and Dr. Wolfe (student of Dr. Tessier) the later concerning a seperate craniofacial procedure as well as jaw advancement, and via Skype w/Dr. Movahed (fellow of Dr. Larry Wolford), Dr. Gunson and Dr. Mike Mew. Also, prior to knowing much about any of this I had some cosmetic procedures with Dr. Michael Salzhauer that all left something to be desired and require some tweaking. Anyway, I just keep digging and digging, and thanks to my obsessive nature and you lovely people, I am driving up to consult with Dr. Sinn on June 5th!
My first question about Dr. Sinn is does he work with implants at all? In addition to double jaw surgery including a modified lefort ii or iii I would really like to have mandibular angle implants and even a forehead implant. I am driving up to see him in about two weeks but I'd love to have a somewhat clear understanding of what he does vs. what I would like to have done before I show up to meet him!
My second, I really would like to open up my extraction spaces (top premolars only) with a functional appliance and have a modified multi segmented lefort ii or iii. I know this is very possible with a lefort i with certain orthos who are familiar with these types of appliances and certain maxfac surgeons... do you think Dr. Sinn would be willing to work with me if I opened my extractions first, then braces to prep for surgery? And is a multi segmented modified lefort ii or iii even possible?
Some of you people are so tenacious and brave to pursue and possibly even undergo these procedures, I commend you and am thankful to have you as kindred spirits! This is my first post so if this isn't proper etiquette please let me know! Thanks!
