Need to get orthognathic surgery soon :(

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm , I'm from Newfoundland, Canada. I need to get

orthognathic surgery done soon like within a few months time. I

really didn't mind the idea all that much but today I went in for

the consult with the specialist and well it was kinda scary. I'm

getting the surgery done on my upper jaw, he told me thats the

best/easiest one to have done. I'm wondering if anyone else here has

had this done? I've had the worst kind of TMJ pains for several

years and have had a ton of ortho surgery done to try and fix it,

yet this the next step in getting it fixed I'm told by the

professionals.

The one thing that stands out are the pins they have to put into

place to keep your jaw there, the doc said I wouldn't notice them

but I have a bit of a hard time believing I won't ever notice them.

thanks for your time.
