Good results. Congratulations, and I hope your numbess goes away soon.

Thank you for posting pictures.

Welcome

That's great news, RYAN. Congratulations!

What type of insurance do you have?

I read that eating lots of pinapple starting a couple of weeks prior to the surgery

helps a lot with the swelling. That's one thing I'd try now. If you don't feel like eating

much, there is juice.

Hey, maybe you're one of those people who recover well

Ouch. Do they know what caused it?

I hope you're not in pain.

Happy New Year, everyone.

That's great news about your jaw, Underbiter.

Finally

Is it gradually getting better, Freakyteeth?

Nice.

Thanks for posting.

I woke up last night panicing about my teeth - I never had this worry with the original ortho.

Maybe the ortho. will have five minutes on Tuesday to listen to what you're

suddenly experiencing. Good luck on Tuesday.

I'm looking for independent coverage too.

Thanks for the update.

I'm not expert, but the gums look better to me than they did in previous pictures.

You will get there

I had a crossbite, it got corrected by SARPE, and now an open bite, which needs to be corrected.

Did the SARPE caused the open bite?

Thanks for the update, boatsink. How is everyone else doing?

Welcome, What happens if I get halfway through wearing braces and start to panic and decide I don't want the surgery? Could I ever just get the braces without the surgery? Get a diagnosis from the surgeon, and then you'll be able to learn more about the specific procedure(s), recovery, etc... releva...
