Re: braces on before surgery

[Guest guest]

I had my braces on for 11 months before surgery. the last 2 to 3

months the wait was agonizing but all worth it in the end.

I'm not sure what the average amount of time is nate, but I do know

I was told I'm going to have braces on for 9 mo's as well before

surgery. I'd take it with a grain of salt, they (the ortho's) tend

to be quite vague when it comes to timetables. How long did he say

you'll need them after the surgery? What type of surgery?
