got my consult for FMS recently and i was told something interesting: apparently, if i hadn’t used braces to straighten my bite, we could have done surgery to bring the jaw forward (and improve my jaw/chin), instead of doing an implant (which i will now have to do)
kind of hit me like a “how the fuck was i supposed to know”, but maybe this advice will come in handy for one of y’all
Hold on, I am going to get my underbite fixed (seeing a dentist) and my searches are coming up empty. What do I need to watch out for?
instead of braces, you can get surgery and fix your jaw that way, which will also move your jaw forward and (maybe, i guess?) eliminate the need for a chin enhancing implant
there’s not like a problem if you do get braces, but you could kill two birds with one stone instead of spending the time and effort on braces and then getting chin enhancing FMS
if you like your chin and don’t plan to get FMS, just get braces, though
