Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Okay...I'm trying to find like a documentery jaw surgery video. I remember when the Discovery Channel used to have a surgery series where they showed a different surgery every episode...and one was jaw surgery. It was quite a few years ago and I didn't watch much of it...but I remember watching part of it and being like...wow! I think it would be cool to have so I could show my friends/family what exactly it was I had done. Any suggestions? Thanks! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Look in the links, here and on OSS 2. It's posted. If you don't specify that it's for personal use, they'll want $175 for it. If you do tell them that, it's $40. And it's not for showing over appetizers. They're working on a young woman about, maybe 16, with a large underbite. She's done braces forever and nothing has really helped. I do think the surgery was life-changing for her and her family. You see the surgery (including wizzie removal) in some detail, some bloody detail, I might add, with saws, hammers and chisels, but not much if any of the recovery. I have no clue, still, whether she was wired, banded or neither of the above. She's in the O.R., and in the next shots she's off to college (presumably UNC at Chapel Hill) to visit her sister in the dorm -- all healed and bouncy, with a much simpler profile. There may be subsequent better ones -- this one is old, now. (It was, indeed, on the Discovery Channel, which also showed the repair of a cleft palate on a baby a day or two later, in the same series. Fascinating.) I watched it when I was awaiting lower advancement, back in 2001-2002, and I think it was probably old then. Best, Cammie > Okay...I'm trying to find like a documentery jaw surgery video.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 tom, sorry for replying so late. i am going back, way back, in the posts as i am behind. i was at my OS last friday 6 weeks post, and asked the same thing! i really didn't get a good answer, but he did tell me to look at the " History Channel " or something like that.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 You can find this in the links on site 2, or on the geocities site at http://www.geocities.com/orthognathicinfo (click on OTHER LINKS, ORTHOGNATHIC LINKS). I never watched, never will. I often faint at the sight or mention of a needle. Don't like the sight of blood or gore. Personally, I wouldn't show this video to anyone, not even someone I didn't like! > > Okay...I'm trying to find like a documentery jaw surgery video.
