Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I just became a member to this and have a few questions. I have been in braces for 10 months and am not yet ready for surgery. I will be having upper and lower and possibly genio. I have alot of problems with my TMJ's and that is primarily the reason for the surgery. The condiles are out of place causing joint pain and headaches, but I also have an overbite and a recessed chin. I have had 3 opinions, one in Arkansas, where they wanted to put the condiles back in place in one surgery and then let me heal, before they did the orthognathic surgery. Since moving back to Baltimore, I have seen two other surgeons who said that orthognatic surgery typically erradicates the joint pain by giving a more even bite. I have been reading some posts, and some people are saying they have alot of joint pain after the orthognathic surgery? Could someone please advise? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
