I have a jaw surgery case planned in five months. After pushing my ortho for a referral to a maxillofacial surgeon I went there a while back. He told me based on his estimations that he would give me an 11mm BSSO and that there was no need for a Lefort 1 or genioplasty. This really confused me as I thought much more advancement was needed. But since im not very informed I hope someone will be able to tell if this will suffice. I have attached some side profile pictures. First picture is relaxed mouth posture, second one has me putting my lower teeth up to my upper teeth (surgeon said this would emulate what it looks like after the surgery). I don't have any X-ray's yet, will post those once acquired. So my question is do u think 11mm BSSO will be enough and if not what would you suggest?
