I have a Class III bite, asymmetry, and a slightly steep mandibular and occlusal planes. I need Lefort I with CCW, maybe 5 mm of advancement.
At first I looked into Korea because there they fix the skeletal discrepancy via surgery first, and then plan orthodontics from there. I’m 31, I like the sound of that much better than braces for a year.
But talking to these clinics is not going too well, CCW is like a foreign concept to them and they seem to want to set back my mandible to meet my upper jaw rather than move both forwards which obviously I won’t have.
My jaw and chin looks big from the outside so it’s confusing to even doctors that the inside is technically recessed and needs expansion. I don’t have sleep apnea, my airway is fine, but my teeth are crowded. So I need the surgery for medical/dental reasons as well as cosmetic ones.
So, are there any clinics in Turkey or anywhere else that can do Lefort CCW without braces first?
