Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hi, Im supposed to be getting my braces put on tomorrow but within the last 24 hours Ive suddenly got many doubts and am thinking of pulling out. I hate my smile and my teeth are very crooked and overcrowded. My jaws dont look perfect but its not really noticable and people are surprised if I mention the surgey to fix them. My sudden concern is that ive read most people saying they wouldnt do it for cosmetic reasons. But that is the only reason for me really, I dont have functional problems. I am worried that I will look worse after surery. The differences are meant to be subtle and my surgeon has said he will make as little change as he can because I dont need much, but I am worried that just small changes will make me regret the surgery if I look worse. Ive read of one person on here saying that their lips and nose dont settle on their face the same way as before and that they regret their surgery. I would hate this to happen to me. Is that more likely to happen to someone who is having major changes as opposed to small changes like me, or could such bad results happen to anyone. My final question is, do most people getting this surgery have over crowded or very crooked teeth? Because this is my main reason for getting the surgery, to correct this. But I dont really here many people on here talking about crooked teeth so im wondering if most of you had crooked teeth before treatment. Im quite stressed out suddenly and would appreciate any replies to anything ive said, I really dont know if Im going to get these braces now.
