Thank you bracedface and Erik :) I hope this post can be some kind of support for people already in the process, or who haven't yet started. I remember treads like this help me through much, so I therefore wanted to make one myself when I decided to go through with the surgery. Eirik: I had the surg...

OK, last update

I'm done, and I'm really pleased with the result =]

I have edited a video showing the process and the final result, My Jaw Surgery

Thank you guys! It has now passed 1 and a half week since my operation, and for the last couple of days I have been feeling great! The swelling is going down, I'm able to study normally (exams coming up soon) and I consume lots of food. My favorite smoothie is: Pineapple juice, 1 banana, 2 raw eggs,...

Hey, welcome back sokk! Up and posting already: I'm impressed :) Glad it went ok. I know what you mean about getting used to the teeth being in a different place. Enjoy the soup. You'll be eating plenty of it :wink: Dani, congrats on the returning feeling (even if it does mean feeling a bit more pa...

I did it! I finally had my surgery :D. Yesterday I met at the hospital 8 am (UTC +01:00), was given anesthesia around 8:30 and woke up 3 pm. Everthing went well! I had no pain, just some discomfort by some blood-sucking tubes coming from my mouth. Today I removed them as well, and was finally able t...

I'm on the other side. Got out of hospital yesterday. All's well so far. Congrats to the others who are through, and thinking of those still to come, esp. Sokk for today and beowulf for tomorrow. Any news of 32with braces ? Hi SAuerkraut! Im also in the other side:). Woke up around 15.00 (UTC -+01....

Thanks for the response, I really appreciate it! Hoping for good results :) Really good luck to you guys also, beowulf and sauerkraut. I will be really interesting to see how the the recovery goes for us. Keep me posted :) Here is how my bite looks like now :) (almost lost my openbite) http://img827...

Almost a year since i posted last time, but haven't really had any news, until now:) But first let me summarize 2010 Early this year i removed one of my wisdoms teeth, and another one i May. In July my teeth were perfect and ready for surgery, after 1 year in braces. But since i had removed my wisdo...

I'm having surgery on the 10th November, almost exactly 2 years after my first visit to the surgeon. Looking forward to get it done .

I met my surgeon! He said he wanted to move the lower jaw back. And said that he could perfom the surgery before summer 2010! I also had an appointment with my ortho after the meeting with the surgeon, she said she wasn't sure if the presurgery treatment were ready before the summer. But she'll be t...

My underbite looks very much like yours. I have been in braces for 8 months and my orthodontist thinks I should eb ready for double jaw surgery in about 6 months. It does get annoyign that you have to wait so long in order to even be ready for surgery but it's all with our best interest in mind so ...

A fellow Norwegian :) Just wanted to drop by and say hi. I'm a 23 year old girl who started the braces process in february. I have an overbite/overjet and I went to see an ortho to see what could be done. He said that I might be a good candidate for orthodontic surgery, and referred my to an oral s...

Long time no update :o, but not so much have happend. A few months back i got braces on my lower jaw, some weeks ago i got on my upper jaw. I'm probably wearing them for 1.5-2 years. I don't mind wearing bracers at all, its all good:). People dont care, i dont care, its no problem;) The only thing t...

Update :P Today I had an new appointment with my ortho, or she wasn't there, just some assistants. But I only had to take some x-rays and a copy of my teeth(plaster figure). They told me that probably 100% of the treatment will be covered by the "norwegian government"!! (not sure what you ...

Thanks for the reply fuzzypants! I had been lurking on this forum for like 2 months before I decided to start the treatment and have surgery, so I will just say thanks to everyone! There are probably more like me, who are wondering if they are going to have surgery or not, so I'll update this tread ...
