is there a way to downgraft the maxilla in the anterior for more incisor display without stretching the musculature. Would a clockwise rotation of the mandible help as to not have to stretch my facial muscles so much? or what would be the appropriate way to accomplish that? thanks for your input and help by the way! (:
I'm sorry, but your questions reveal you lack the very basic foundation to build on to address questions as you ask them. This is not a matter of lack of information. It's a matter of not being able to use the information you already have or have been given. It's like building a house on sand or over a sink hole. You are too confused to un-confuse and any info you get won't go anywhere other than into a CONFUSION GENERATOR. I don't think there is any clarity anyone here can give you that you won't use as a spring board to confuse yourself more or generate more anxiety for yourself.
There's really no way to answer questions that arise from a person who wants to lengthen his face BUT doesn't want to lengthen their face. Dude, if you lack the foundation to know the difference between WANTING to lengthen your face and NOT wanting to lengthen it, then you are too confused to be un-confused by any answer you get from any of your questions.
Some examples:
Here you state you WANT to LENGTHEN your face.
I see it’s more common to want to shorten a long face but I wanna do the opposite. I’m getting a Downgraft soon due to lack of tooth show. Does this make the face longer? The surgeon says he will do about 6-7 mm down but that sounds like such a small amount to me. He is also going to do a genioplasty, can a genioplasty lengthen your face and by how much? Also what can I do to lengthen my face? Is lengthening possible through jaw surgery?
Here you DON'T want to lengthen your face.
this is what i'm wondering as well. I just want to increase incisor display without making my face longer and without stretching my muscles.
Another example:
Sergio gives you a very STRAIGHT FORWARD answer which should mitigate confusion about rigid fixation and grafting being stable. That info went right into a sink hole. All you did with it was to use as a spring board to ask more spin off questions having little or nothing to do with his clarification that rigid fixation and grafting were stable.
Next comes your question to me AFTER I CLARIFY a prior question. I'm not answering it. Why? Because your questions don't arise from any clarity on your part about anything and there is no demonstration any clarity given to you based on addressing a prior questions has resulted in clarifying things for you. The simple 'answer' to someone asking questions about surgery who is wanting a longer face but also NOT wanting a longer face is NOT to have surgery.
I will give you 3 TIDBITS of info than can be used for you to answer your OWN questions. But will not be addressing any more 'spin off' mechanizations you generate subsequent to being given this info. If it isn't ample for you to un-confuse YOURSELF, I doubt anyone here can un-confuse you FOR you.
1: Muscles move with bone.
2: An alternative to rigid fixation is having your jaws WIRED SHUT for 6 weeks and being on a liquid/soft NO CHEWING diet (consuming food through a straw).
3: The alternative to no fixation at all and/or no graft for more tooth show for a person WANTING a longer face who also DOES NOT WANT a longer face is veneers to make the teeth longer.
