Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hey all, I've been reading the messages posted on here for some time now, and figure you're the right people to answer a few of my questions. It looks like in order to get that perfect smile, I'll need to have lower jaw surgery. I've already had consultations with two different orthodontists, both of which believe this is the right path to take. I have one last consultation next week, with a lady who is also a surgeon - (how conveinant!) I'm terrified of this. I'm only 16, and nobody will give me any real answers about how long this process will take. I can breathe, chew, and talk properly, and my lips close when I smile. It's strictly cosmetic, but my problem is too severe for cosmetic surgery. I don't want to be wired shut for my graduation next year. I don't want to start university away from home with dental worries. I don't want to lose the feeling in my face. I've never had surgery before and I'm incredibly scared, and not knowing what to expect. Is this really worth it? Thanks for any words of wisdom you might have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
