hi all just wondering if there is any one that has had anteriour open bite surgery on the nhs, i was meant to get braced up 3 weeks ago but thay have changed my appointment to aug 28th 
.im mostley intrested to now how the surgery changes the way you look and talk 
my open bite is 10mm,and the only teeth that touch are the molars right at the back of my mouth,this is causing me to talk with a slurring type of lisp,before i had an open bite i could talk perfectley do you think i will be able to talk properly afta surgery, because apart from the ortho saying i need surgery this is the onley reason im going through with it.cheers all
