Guest guest Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Hi everyone, I am new to the group (and to internet groups in general). I found this site a couple of months ago after my OS suggested I do an internet search to get more information. I've been reading your posts off and on since then. I'm 42 and scheduled for upper and lower surgery on January 16. I'm on this journey to address funtionality and to try and save my teeth. I had braces as a teenager, but relapsed because my tongue thrust and jaw alignment were never corrected. I have been in upper braces for about 2 years and lower for about 18 months. I have also been in therapy with an oral-facial myologist for about 2 years to learn how to swallow properly. Has anyone else been in " tongue " therapy? I am really nervous at this point. I want to thank everyone for their posts and support. You all have answered many of my questions. I am especially relieved to learn I am not the only adult having this type of surgery. As scared as I am, I really want to get to the other side. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
