Hello.

I had upper jaw surgery a couple weeks ago and noticed that one side of my molars hit 1st when I close my mouth. Also, I noticed that  my upper jaw is slightly off center. It is turned more towards the side that hits first. I don't want to complain because my healing is going well. I understand that there is a trade off with surgery. I just would like to know how normal is this type of result after jaw surgery and would this be cause for a revision? Or is this common? If it is cause for revision, is it common for insurance to cover it?

Thanks.
