heylo Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 SARPE needs to be done in conjunction with the lower palate - both need to be widened at the same time. Braces go on afterwards for at least a year and the gap is closed - an ortho is needed. To get proper results, you need to combine it with maxilliary widening using transposed particulated bone from a 'spare' piece from jaw surgery or mandibular angle reduction.
chardonnaylane Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I've been emailing with The Face Dental and told them what I wanted : Wider and shorter upper jaw and lower jaw moved forward and upward. I asked them if I needed ortho work afterwords but they said that most likely i didnt? I really dont get how that would work but I guess an in person consult is a must as you dont speak to Dr Lee directly. Have you been in contact with any clinics in Korea? I went to EverM's website aswell but couldnt translate it, however if they dont do maxilla impaction I might aswell cross them off since I know I need it for sure. im also looking into Severence hospital and N Dental which i think was mentioned by Robinrenren who had his surgery at EverM.
itsamemario Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 If you're talking on kk, then you are likely speaking to Dr Lee directly. Their consultants don't speak English.
chardonnaylane Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 No it was definatly a consultant and not Dr Lee, because she said that she had to ask the surgeon about my concerns but that he was operating atm and that she would get back to me. Her English wasn't perfect but it was definatly good enough to communicate although I'm not sure that everything came through 100%. I was communicating via email since I don't use Kakao or any of the korean chat apps.
seoul_soon Posted May 1, 2017 Author Posted May 1, 2017 When you go into the TFD clinic, you will be dealing with Dr Lee directly. The local consultant does not speak english but Dr Lee does
lanalow Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Hey! Do you mind showing your results to me too? Thanks for sharing your story!
j_ff Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Comparing the two clinics, which did you find better in surgery skill?
