I started my journey towards Jaw Surgery in 2002, though I didn't know that at the time. I spent the next four years in spacers, and in retainers to widen my jaw enough for braces to help. Then in 2005 I finally was able to get braces on. For the next couple of years I had many teeth pulled and some simple surgeries done to extract impacted teeth.
In 2010 I was told that Jaw Surgery would probably be a good option for me. So the next few years were spent getting very prepared for this. It has been a very long journey!
It was a hard decision for me to decide to go through with this surgery. I had a bite that was very unique and it did make chewing very difficult. But just thinking about going through the surgery was hard for me, as I had no idea what to expect.
After numerous orthodontist visits, and visits to the oral surgeon a date was set. My surgery was done officially on March 5th, 2014. This blog will be something for me to reference back to my recovery period.
