Jaw surgery Case# 112: Ana -Class II, Open bite

[@thephilosopher5799]

She has a really successful surgery. She looks stunning!

[@mdenjoyer831]

hi, having a deep overbite class 2 and short face syndrome combined with hemimandibular hyperplasia is it possible to fix my jaw? what kind of surgery needs to be done? i see that doing only bimax can sometimes make the asymmetry of the hemimandibular hyperplasia worse, can that be done in one procedure or do you need multiple and do you have by chance a patinet that needed surgery for class 2 but also had hyperplasia of one side

[@loppyhandford]

Do all jaw surgeons know about rotating the jaw, or do some surgeons only move the jaw forward and backward to fix the underbites and overbites, and ignore whether rotation is needed?

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

Many surgeons still aply the old approach to orthognathic surgery, which is function-based. They will do strictly the required movements to fix your bite without considering aesthetics.

hello. is this a regular outcome after surgery or do you pick the A++ outcomes for marketing reasons?

[@blockbuster1979]

Of course they pick the best outcomes for marketing . . .

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

These are the patients that are willing to have their cases published. We have a great deal many more excellent cases who do not consent.

Hola!, ¿es posible mantener el largo del menton que estaba antes de la cirugía? ¿O siempre en los pacientes clase 2, el menton crece verticalmente?

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

Hola, la planificación se hace de acuerdo a la forma del rostro del paciente para maximizar la armonía facial. Si el alargamiento del rostro no es deseable, la planficicación se hará acorde a los deseos del paciente.

[@lukakiric5775]

How do you deal with bimaxillary protrusion? Do you extract teeth or try to camouflage it by bringing the chin forward? I have not seen any of your patients with bimax protrusion. Usually they all have retrusion before the surgery.

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

Biprotrusion is dentoalveolar in origin and must me managed orthodontically with extractions.

[@shuikai272]

Some have, Kendrick was less than ideal. Obviously if you're trying to get good results you don't want flaring of the incisors so most shown here will be pretty good.

[@lluisguillen5491]

entonces en este caso solo se ha movido la mandibula no? no se ha hecho maxilar. eso seria clase ll

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

Maybe I missed it but how long after surgery was the video recorded?

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

About 6 months

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

@@yourbrain8700 Yes, lip numbness takes a long time to dissapear completely, so we do consider 6 months a short period.

[@morenittayas]

Le han dejado la cara y el perfil muy bonito. Yo me veo muy parecida a ella antes, con el mentón retraído. ¿Cómo queda el tema de la sensibilidad y nervios faciales tras la cirugía? Ya que es una cirugía que puede afectarlos ...

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

No se han reportado efectos significativos

[@davet8134]

This is very interesting. I notice a lot of Spaniards have this profile. Why is that?

[@davet8134]

She looks great now btw

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

The language we speak shapes our facial gestures in a way.

[@juanvi3979]

​@@davet8134 what do you mean? Her face before surgery? That's because of soft food and mouth breath
