Hello everyone.
I'm a 27M brazilian and I'm currently undergoing ortho preparation and planning for jaw surgery.
I had braces for about seven years (15 - 22) and although they left my teeth pretty straight, my bite isn't really good. Also have a history of mouth breathing and severe undiagnosed sleep apnea.
Started using a CPAP right as covid hit, so I didn't feel comfortable trying to make surgery/ortho plans until things got better a couple months ago.
Initial planning involves either MARPE/SARPE and braces for 10-12m, maxilla advancement surgery and then braces for another 6-10 months for refinement.
Love the community you're building here and will definitely keep you guys posted on my process.
Going in for second round of braces - new here!
