Bimax questions

[Sean o' Tist]

So, this is my side profile. After making a copule of threads asking if I need bimax, I have come to the terms with probabily needing this surgery aestheticwise.

But, my questions now are:

1) I do not have any recession related health problems that I'd be aware of.
Would any reputable surgeon perform bimax on me?

2) Would it be even worth ot aesthetiwise?

3) what are possible complications?
Are there any former bimax patients who can tell me more about this?

4) I have had 2 premolars extracted from upper jaw when I was like 13, and have gotten braces. Will bimax be efficient even if this is the case?

5) can someone pls make a trimax morph of my side profile?

Thank you bhais in advance.

That is not your side profile, that is the 3/4 back of the skull

If you don't have health issues dont get it. Could be a long process. You will be swollen for a year. You are still limited by your skeletal basis so the result may be underwhelming. You can be botched, get infected, scarring under your lip, braces for a year or two, TMJ issues can occur, hearing can be affected. Not worth it for only aesthetics

You could go for the less invasive option instead

I mean from this angle, I can see clearer that bimax would benefit you. Even if you don't have health issues as of now they could come later in life because of recession getting worse with time. So you could def consider bimax now because it will be a good investment for the future

You would also ascend very much so the aesthetic benefit is well worth it too, so yes go for it my friend

I'm assuming you're not 18 yet, and no one is going to perform bimax or any other orthognathic surgery on someone under 20-22.

You do have a short ramus and mandibular body though, which makes your chin seem recessed, even though your actual chin is fine. Being short on both of these would also usually cause a bad occlusal plane angle.

But I'm confused as to why your premolars were extracted? And which ones were extracted? Maxillary or mandibular?

Yes

I'm 19 already
And Maxillary premolars were extracted, because I used to have overjet, and to "fix" it with braces the neede to do extractions.

So you had a severe overjet? Otherwise your ortho should've just widened your arches instead of pulling teeth. Odds are good that the pulling is partly to blame for your mandibular recession.

Regardless of that, with 19 you should be able to start preparations for bimax. Wait lists are usually long and you likely need braces before anyway, so might as well get started early.
