CAN BRACES BEFORE BIMAX GIVE YOU MORE TEETH SHOW?

[DonaldJTrump]

I might need bimax to fix my LONG FACE (vertical maxillary excess), i have scleral show as well, all from downward growth i think. however, i don't have a lot of teeth show (i have a NORMAL amount, i definitely don't have SFS at all but i'm not a gummy smilecel).


will getting braces to decompensate my teeth before bimax give me more of a gummy smile, more teeth show, so that i can impact my maxilla upwards during LeFort 1 and shorten my face?

 

[geenk worg]

you seem very confused my guy.
vertical maxillary excess means overly long distance between the nose and incisor edge. that makes a gummy smile unless you have a very long philtrum.

I know what it means, im wondering if braces can help “worsen” it.

Yes it's possible but why would you do that? lengthen your face just to make it shorter after? Doesn't make any sense

I just need increased tooth show so that I can shorten my actual maxilla during surgery. Braces wont lengthen the face.

 

[DonaldJTrump]

Yes

Nice, he got braces in preparation for bimax?

Increased tooth show = increased facial height, genius.
And yes it is possible to lengthen the face with braces, with a certain technique

what i meant is that i need my teeth to be at their true position (decompensated), which i assume means more teeth show, so that i could fix my vertical maxillary excess

Are your incisors proclined?

 

[DonaldJTrump]

Are your incisors proclined?

Yes, top are backwards, bottom forwards

 

[geenk worg]

Yes, top are backwards, bottom forwards

oh. that means your teeth are retroclined. in that case, fixing it won't increase your tooth show
