Nothing wrong with that at all, . But don't forget to tell your

doc about your worries with your parents...

wow! thats good to get others opinions. i had braces twice. i saw one

orthodontist. he worked on my mom too. then he retired and his son

took over, so his son did my next set of braces. surgery was my ONLY

option for correction. and if surgery is not an only option- that

would be so cool to skip the surgery and have just the ortho work, or

what do they mean??. from the things i have read that you have

wrote, i know how you feel.. and the surgery did give me that way

greater self esteem. i am so thankful for it. and no way is there

anything wrong with wanting to feel comfortable and have a high self

esteem! anyway, good luck with your mom.. i truely hope the best

comes out of your guys' discussion!

Trouble is, honey, you need to be sure you ask, among your other

questions, what will give you the best hope of long-term retention of

the changes... Unless you enjoy having braces again (and paying for

them!) every few years.

I'm not saying it never happens. But I and many others have been told

that surgery is the best true hope to hang on to the changes made.
