Re: Bad recessive chin contest for Halloween!

[Guest guest]

Hey,

One of my ortho's assistant's husband has some major jaw challenges.

He's been in and out of braces for 8 years and could not have

surgery because he wouldn't benefit from the surgery.

Apparently, some new surgeon in town with new techniques was going

to look into his case, but I guess the sugery didn't happen.

I don't know the whole details of his situation, but it sounds like

he's got a very unique situation where surgery is not going to help.

I've never met the guy, but his wife is a wonderful person and he's

lucky to have a girl like that. She told me it doesn't bother her -

it's only him that needs to resolve or accept his situation.
