Hello, new member here...

#1 Post by Rizzie »

Hi, I am new to the forum and looking forward to being a part of this group as my ortho adventure begins.

This second time around, I'm looking at braces plus orthognathic surgery. I nixed the idea of braces/surgery several years ago, but now things have worsened (of course!) and so here I am!

I bet I'm one of the oldest here, at 58. My OS said he has done surgery on a 60-year-old, so I won't be setting any records, but close!

Everyone seems so knowledgeable regarding their treatment on this forum--I've learned so much already. Looking forward to the adventure!

Riz

Hello and welcome. Age doesnt really matter here, I'm 42 and sometimes cant believe I finally made the decision to get braced (after the kids had their braces first) But I am so glad because I am finally fixing something that has annoyed me all my life. Good luck on your journey.
