this is a great video and what i have been looking for incase I'm not satisfied with the nonsurgical approach I'm taking now. haven't seen any videos like this so far, thank you!
im trying to figure out what orthodontist i should chose. are orthodontic clinics that also provide myofuctional therapy better? because when applying braces they will not create end result that will interfere with correct tongue posture.
If the orthodontist has an in-house myofunctional therapist, it will simply mean they are aware of the importance of tongue posture and, I'd guess, less likely to apply retractive forces during orthodontic treatment. This is not a great way to choose an orthodontist though. It simply gives you clues about their overarching philosophy. Where are you located? I may have recommendations.
It depends on the root cause(s) of the asymmetry. You have a long wait ahead of you. The soft tissue takes a very long term to recover (up to a year) and nerve recovery can take even longer. It's a waiting game to see where things settle. It may be worth starting some form of oral motor therapy sooner rather than later to see if you can expedite healing/recovery/symmetry. Where are you located? Maybe there is someone local who can help you with this.
@@lanael7278 Unfortunately, I'm not aware of anyone in your area who can help with this. You may want to search the AOMT or IAOM website for providers in your area. I recommend trying to find a myofunctional therapist who is also a physical therapist. If you can't find someone in person, I could help you virtually.

Thanks for this video! Could you do a list of some basic but important questions to ask surgeons?
Yes! That's next on my list.

Wow you look a lot different. Incredible.
I don't know if you have a different mic or if it's the surgery, but your voice sounds a lot more open.
