Re: Recovery
I was off work for (gulp) six weeks. No way I could have went back before three. The drooling and drinking and plugged nose were so terrible I just couldn't have.

Re: Jaw Surgery - Pregnant
THis has happened to me twice (two surprise pregnancies) and I've had the braces for 5 years during four surgeries. (I need two more). The only thing is long time in braces + pregnancy = rampant decay for me. They need to watch this carefully. They didn't for me and I ended up with fillings and root...

Re: Genioplasty hardware removal
I had this done in a subsequent surgery. I didn't notice a difference cosmetically, but it felt much, much nicer.

Re: Pontics on Braces While Awaiting Implants...

Re: Pontics on Braces While Awaiting Implants...
I had ponics for a LONG time on my braces. They move around A LOT and food gets trapped on them. However, they are wired in and look nice so it was great to see what my teeth would look like down the road after (more) implants.

Re: 3 years post-surgery, what I think about my decision.

Re: Changes to Nose
They cut a piece of bone under my nose and now it is more upturned, and less hook like. I need to post pictures. At first I didn't like it, and now I LOVE it.
It was pretty much a free nose job.
