First post btw don't judge me.
So I was talking to a surgeon about fixing my deep overbite, said I should do BSSO only, as my maxilla is good. So just some lower jaw advancement with a few degrees of CCW rotation, which will also supposedly fix my antegonial notch and asymmetry (lifefuel).
Probably going to ascend after this procedure because my relatively short mandible is my only failo (jaw width and jawline visibilty is great regardless).
On to the question tho, surgeon told me you can CCW rotate the maxilla non-surgically as well with the help of temporary anchorage devices, as it is minimally downswung (it's actually minimal, no gummy smile whatsoever, but I'd benefit from a little bit of rotation), my only concern is that they might recess my maxilla. Do they actually do that, or is it genuinely just pulling up the front teeth to be closer to the nose?
And should I go for BSSO only or use TAD's as well?
Going to consult with another surgeon next week, so I'll see what he says and will update on this.
