[@RS54321]

He is absolutely gorgeous. Great final result!

[@daznmm]

Amazing seeing a foreigner doing the interview. Great interview and you should be very proud of the results. I'm so looking forward to my surgery. Having kinda the same "esthetics problems". Thanks for the video.

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

Our pleasure. Glad you liked it!

[@gideonros2705]

Incredible how different he looks in a better way.

[@oumuamua1963]

This is almost identical to my case. I have been left out of many details as Im getting mine done with the NHS in the UK and didn't know what to ask I had no illustrations of what results I could expect. I'm very pleased after watching this video. Thank you

[@deadeyes4626]

Same I never thought the nhs would do it Have you found out if you can do it on the nhs?

[@oumuamua1963]

@@deadeyes4626 yes I'm getting orthodontist work and the operation done on the NHS. I'm 30 yo. I first booked a private consultation my dentist referred me to they looked at my case suggested different options and I asked if they could refer me to the NHS. Which he wrote them a letter. They booked me in for a consultation and agreed to do the work. I'm waiting for my operation. I did have an overbite which is why there doing the procedure

@@oumuamua1963 hey i'm thinking about getting this done by the NHS as well, are they covering everything including braces? I'm uncertain that my insurance company will cover me thats why Im thinking NHS. Is your case particularly bad for the NHS to cover you? Hope to hear back, cheers

[@oumuamua1963]

@@freddiesmith-wright7531 I live in the UK I paid for a private consultation with my dentist for braces once I knew I had a 9mm overbite and would need lower jaw surgery to correct it I asked if he could refer me the the NHS I waited a while but they assesed my case and agreed to do the braces and operation free of charge. Bare in mind the NHS is very slow and it will take longer then going private. Your insurance should cover the cost if you research the negative effects of an overbite, it is deemed necessary for overall health

@@oumuamua1963 Hey, any updates how it went?

[@cristoff3]

Looks absolutely amazing! I have just a few questions: 1. What is the splint he talks about? Why wasn't this enough..? 2. I have no TMJ pain, but the point he mentions about air pressure difference in the ears rings true for me. What are the causes and symptoms of this..? 3. How long can patients stay in the hospital after surgery? 4. Is it possible to get more 1-year follow-up videos? That would be great if we could see more long-term results... Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

Many thanks. 1- The splints are used to place the joints in place thus avoiding an overload or wearing of the joint tissue. 2- The air pressure diferences are due to a blockage of the eustachian tube and are mostly congenital. The feeling is similar to that you can feel when on a plane. 3- The vast majority of our patients stay at the hospital for just 1 night. Altough we can arrange for the stay to be longer if they wish. 4- We'll do our best to try and get more, but it's hard to have the patients to come after 1 year, specially those from abroad!

[@cristoff3]

@@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona I appreciate your time responding. Last question: "The air pressure differences due to a blockage of the eustachian tube..." would such problems as this show up on scans performed at Instituto clinic..?

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

@@cristoff3 no, you should visit a clinic specialized in TMJ or an otolaryngologist. The air pressure problems of Mohamed were diagnosed and treated by another doctor, before coming to our clinic.

Wow Mohammed! What a successful surgery! Kiddos on going for it ❤️

Bro. How old you when you're in surgery?

[@jonikej]

Great video. I have the same problem. But I’ve had dental crowns a few months ago. Do I need braces for my surgery and would braces damage my zirconia dental crowns?

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

The vast majority of people need braces before surgery, but only the surgeon can tell you after an examination. They shouldn't damage your crowns, if properly managed.

[@jonikej]

@@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona thank you Appreciate you work

[@reginaldchow6976]

if this is just a bsso and sliding genio, how is the gonal angle and the ramus length different in the before and after? did he have jaw implants? was this change from orthodonic treatment?

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

This is due to the rotation of the mandible, no implants.

[@reginaldchow6976]

@@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona thank you, you can rotate jaw with just bsso. thought you needed double jaw surgery and rotation of maxilla as well.

[@riseup2227]

Plz tell me how to get in touch with the hospital.

[@justinbrewer3288]

HOW? How does he have almost NO swelling?

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

Two reasons: Minimally invasive techniques and the fact that Mohammed's was only a lower jaw surgery, thus much simpler than a bimax.

[@dancingdev1088]

First day after surgery? Really? Where is all that swelling?

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

Remember that swelling peaks on the third day ;) But even so, minimally invasive techniques allow for very little swelling in most cases.

[@Javelin-nt8og]

Can braces fix overbite for adults?

[@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona]

That depends on the cause of the overbite, if it is purely dental, it is possible, but if it's skeletal, most probably you need surgery.

[@Javelin-nt8og]

@@InstitutoMaxilofacialBarcelona Does tongue tie cause overbite?
