I haven't had the surgery yet and would like some info on it....

[Guest guest]

I think this is the surgery I need... it's been a while since I've

talked to my dentist about it. My bottom jaw stopped growing when I

was about 10... I'm now 21. My denist told me that the only thing

they could do for me now is to break my jaw and put plates on both

sides to bring it to where it needs to be. Is this what you all had

done? I told him at the time that I didn't want to do it. I've

never broken a bone and I didn't like the idea of having one purposly

broken and it being my jaw. But it does bother me sometimes and

maybe one day when I have the money and insurance I will have it

done. I just wanted to hear from other people who have had the same

surgery to see what they thought of it. If you guys could give me

some info as to what they did and what was your reason for the

surgery, it would help. Thank you.
