Well I just finished packing up my hospital bag for Thursday. I probably have to leave sometime tomorrow evening because I have to ride a 2 hour ferry to get to the hospital..it's a pain when you move during treatment. Anyways, surgery is sometime on Thursday and I should be getting the boot from th...

I had my wisdom teeth out last April..my jaw surgery is next Thursday. The surgeon said it was possible to do them at the same time, but much better if the wisdoms are already out..he said it was like a knot in a tree...

Wow you are holding up well :) I think I'm gonna be a wreck when my date is that close..it is next Thursday and I'm getting more scared everyday. It sure does seem to take forever for the date to finally arrive! You won't be the only one to cry! I know I will for sure. I cried before I got my wisdom...

haha yeah I actually asked the surgeon if I sneeze will my face come apart? He cracked up laughing and he's like..if you have to sneeze, sneeze..

Thank you :) I know I'm not the only scared one out there hehe..but it sure feels like I'm being a total wimp about it all. I've seen some people that said it's no worse than getting wisdom teeth removed and I've heard others tell me horror stories. It really is funny..you wait so long for this surg...

June 14th is my big day for my lower jaw advancement and am I ever scared!! I've been reading a lot of positive posts about all your recoveries and it has made me feel a lot better. The biggest thing I'm concered about is the amount of swelling and the 6 week no chew diet :( I will be on straight li...

I got all 4 of my wisdoms pulled in April. 3 of them were impacted...totally sideways. They used IV sedation, they said I wouldn't be completely out but kinda not with it. I don't remember anything though...I might as well have been complelety out. Just felt like a quick nap. No pain when I woke up ...

Hello Kjnellamore I currently have braces and I got all 4 widsom teeth and 1 front tooth removed last Monday the 3rd. Three out of four wisdoms were impacted so yes, it can be done with braces. My experience wasn't too bad. It was my very first surgery type thing so I was absolutely terrified. I hat...

Best of luck to you Nahky for your surgery next month. Yeah, let us know how it went for sure! Yeah, I was thinking jaw surgery will probably be a little tougher to heal with the fact that you can't open your mouth all the way and having a numb face will be fun. I swelled up pretty bad with just my ...

For those who've had both wisdom teeth extractions and jaw surgery, which did you find harder to recover from and more painful? I had my wisdoms out last week and I'm due for lower jaw surgery around Oct or Nov and I'm wondering which is easier to recover from. I've heard majority of wisdom teeth be...

Good to hear! I just had mine pulled out on Monday. I was terrified as well. It's not that bad tho, just stiffness and achy. I'm still swollen today too. And I'm REALLY tired of soup lol. But good luck with your healing take care

Congrats on a date Teigyr, I have been wondering what it's like after having just lower jaw surgery too. I'm having just lower advancement around October, possibly sooner. I have to get my wisdoms pulled next month and I'm so scared of that already lol. I'm sure it will all be good though. I'm so ha...

eeekkk powerchains sound sooo painful. Does everyone need them?

Yep, gemini I've got the exact same thing. 4 months now with cement on each side of my back molars. Drove me NUTS at first not being able to bite down on all my teeth and I always smacked them when I talked too...I even do it in my sleep sometimes so hard I wake up from it. It does get better tho..I...
