    Hullo everyone :P Been reluctant to post pictures on the net but... I realised how grateful I was to look at other people's before/after photos so I hope to do the same :)

    Problem:
    Severe open bite, and slight 'underbite'.
    To fix this, upper jaw was rotated and then lower jaw was IRVO'd to fix underbite.

    I was born with an open bite :D

    Here's some before/afters

    Side profile:

    Aaaaand finally one of me PRE BRACES til 2 months haha :)

    Most people I know say I don't look different at all. :0 haha. I for one, think I look so much better in photos. I can't stop taking them lol.

    Feel free to ask questions if any! :)

    Uh, maybe you still look like "you," which is a good thing, but you definitely look a bit different! You smile and bite look leagues better. Awesome results.

    You look different, that's absolutely true. Your profile is perfect ;).
    Well, I have some questions - who did peform your surgery? How long do you need braces for now? Are you lips closed when you relax your face?
    Thank you, great result again.

    @Olive: Thanks :)

    @Durden:
    I moved out of the country so I need to find a new dentist + braces, but estimated 6 months I suppose.
    No my lips don't close when relaxed... but the gap is very small now lol, maybe one day they will naturally close. My dentist said that it's just a matter of exercising my lip muscles. But, it doesn't bother me at all.
    Thanks :D
