This is a lateral (side) view of Cicily's head. This is one slice of the 3D CT scan she had done in the hospital. You can see her lower jaw is quite recessed. If you think about how your teeth match up vertically, her teeth don't at all. On her mandible (lower jaw) her molars are back almost to where your throat should be. 'What are they going to do about that' (as an infamous pediatrician asked me when Cis was 2 mos old) - mandibular distraction osteogenesis (aka: 3 months of hell for hopefully a HUGE payoff!)
