Hello . guess I am too late replying and probably you have already the braces on :) I had my braces ( the upper ones ) 3 weeks after I stopped expansion . ( 1,5 month after the operation ) .

An update from me Week 3 after the SARPE surgery . The stitches are gone , but I still feel the gums swollen , especially after talking a bit . I still have a spot under my left eye that its swollen most of the time . As I am still expanding ( 33 turns this morning ) I have a constant "pulling&...

Hello all I just start my journey to correct my bite+teeth+jaws . One of my main concerns , was/is if I could play the flute as before . I am an amateur player and I am playing the flute for the last 2 years . My teacher , didn't have experience with students after surgery ( only with braces ) , so ...

1. Netherlands 2. Zero cost for my wallet but the cost for the Orthodontics ( without the 2 jaw surgeries ) are 3400 euro . This includes all appliances and visits - all treatment . I am not going to pay for anything as its not "cosmetic problem" and my insurance pays for everything . 3. H...
