help and advice wanted

:

My first piece of advice would be to see a dentist. They can assess

your situation and recommend a course of treatment. If the dentist recommends

further treatment, then he might send you to an Orthodontist or Oral Surgeon.

If the Orthodontist recommends that you may need braces, expect to wear them

for an extended period of time. Some people may just need Orthodontic treatment

and not need any surgery. If the Orthodontist recommends surgery, the next

step is to see the Oral Surgeon. The OS will then examine you and determine if

you are a candidate for surgery. In my case I wore my braces for almost two

years before my surgery took place. I have 9-12 months left to wear braces

and I am 6 weeks post-op. But keep in mind, your situation is different and the

duration of treatment will be different for all patients. Good luck .

please can you help

i am mother of four in my late 20's i have sufferd with a birth

defect known as orthognathic??? and even though people around me

tell me it dont botgher them, it bothers me and i want to get

somthing done about it, by complete chance i stumbled accross this

message board.

i dont know where to go, what to do, who to speak to, about having

this corrected to normal, hope to be seeing my gp tomorrow and

speaking to her for the first time, i live in london great britain

and i am sure the operations are available on the NHS (national

health service) but here in the uk the waiting list can go on for

years, it is not uncommon for people to wait 6 - 7 years.

unfortuantly i am in a position i just want it done, as people are

probably aware who suffer from this its in ones own mind. and i will

not feel happy and content and most of all confident until i can

rectify this defect.

if any one out there can offer me some advice on any aspect what so

ever and especially the cost as i intend to go private and any names

or addresses of clinics that carry out this work. i ould be very

greatful.

thank you very much for taking the time to read this long message,

but it is important to me.

I once thought like you do and chose to have the surgery.

It was the biggest mistake of my life. I'm over one year post op and am

still suffering from the most incredible pain ever from an error in the

surgery. More people than you think have problems. Not many of them post to

this site.

My advice: unless you are in pain now, do not get this surgery done.

Mike,

I'm sorry to hear your surgery didn't go well. Can you describe

what the problem was? Can something be done for your pain? It is

important for us to learn about both good and bad outcomes.
