Re: Happy with results? Painful experience?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I had lower jaw surgery to correct an underbite about 10 months ago.

I am very happy with the results. It is an amazing feeling to have

teeth that fit and work properly.

For many having lower jaw surgery, including myself, the nerves get

temporarily traumatized and pain will not be felt. But it's also

likely that your doctor will prescribe you some painkillers in case

you do feel any pain.

That is great that you were so thorough with consulting all the

doctors. I also do believe that the benefits of the surgery outweigh

the risks by orders of magnitude. Have faith in your docs and we'll

do our part in sending you the good vibes!

cheers,
