I'm currently doing pre-surgery ortho treatment. My ortho said I need about 8-9mm of advancement, which is the upper limit for LJS. The issue is my maxilla is also recessed so I’m looking for ways to get more mandibular advancement.
One option is distraction osteogenesis but can’t find anyone in Turkey doing it. Not even sure if they do it outside of special cases.
A more likely option in my opinion would be getting an LJS now and then having a second surgery a few years later. Sounds reasonable since muscles would have adjusted and bones healed but I couldn’t find anyone who's done it that way.
I was offered either an LJS or DJS and I don’t want to miss the chance to go for the DJS. I’d rather not overpay some blackpilled surgeon later for maxillary impaction if it turns out it’s not even possible.
Here’s my pre-surgery (but post-extraction) ortho X-ray if anyone’s curious. Thanks in advance.
