Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Posted November 16, 2004 That one, I don't see. I do see some asymmetry, both before and after -- but I'm no pro, and don't take in most of my info to my feeble, aging brain through visual (at least pictorial) images. I don't see anything about your lower gums. But I may be -- and have been told, from time to time, that I am, loco. Try to relax a bit about all this. Talk with your docs about the troubles you see, but hey, anybody who looks diligently enough can find a flaw in the most beautiful gemstone. And I'm sure you're more beautiful than any of those!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 katie, I saw your pictures where you smile, and my smile looks the same as yours. does your lower teeth/gums show when you talk too? my lower teeth are visible all the time, when i talk and when i smile, and when i say words with " e " or " i " in them.. did you have genioplasty? or just upper and lower jaw surgery? you have a great chin and profile. mine's flat and i still cant close my mouth. im thinking about having genioplasty.
