Talked to different (bluepilled of course) surgeons.
I have a moderate medical class 3 skeletal underbite with severe TMJ on the left side primarily. This was due to early tooth loss and stunted jaw growth in consequence.
My mandible bone is also very narrow despite my dad having a huge jaw and chin.
It was suggested I needed 6-7mm advancement for my occlusion to be corrected. At the moment I have a compromised bite, that induces a mid-line discrepancy. So the chin is off Center basically.
Did MSE beforehand and still in the middle of Invisalign.
Wished I never did it, as my face was already wide and compact and now it looks comical, as I am slightly less lean atm.
It also induced asymmetry (larger side expanded more)- my palate isn’t straight but canted, as is my maxilla now obviously.
This can only be corrected again by surgery, which was planned afterwards in the first place.
At least it did cure my nose breathing difficulties, which is actually pretty cool.
1) One surgeon suggested, that I have mild sfs and wanted to slightly set back the mandible, why doing cw maxillary rotation to lengthen the mid-Face and make the nose appear a bit longer and less bulbous at the tip.
2) Some other surgeon wants to actually do the opposite, although I believe it would look comical. So CCW rotation with only the maxilla advanced.
3) The third surgeon in question opted for a high cut lefort, as she mentioned, that my mid-face is relatively flat and that this will provide volume and make me look less tired.
Other than that, she opted to advance the mandible slightly ( as apparently it wants to move even more forward but is held back by the maxilla) and also advance the maxilla adequately in response.
She also said the cant would be eliminated, making the face more symmetrical.
Unfortunately she also mentioned, that the cartilage around my left TMJ is already damaged, so some pain will persist.
