Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hello all! Ive been thinking about getting jaw surgery but im so nervous. I have to get braces (again) for liek 6months to a year before i have the surgery. I keep delaying getting the braces bc I REALLY dont want them again!! The thing is everyone says its medical necassity but i dont really have any trouble eating or anything. So for me its kinda just cosmetic. I dont really wanna risk have a numb face for the rest of my life because I want a good smile. PLus, I dont wanna have the surgery wher ei currently live because I dont think the surgeon has done this surgery enough (he said hes done it a totaly of 100 something times) I want a guy that does hundreds of these a year. I live in Greenville, North Carolina. Does anyone know where I can find a good OS? How much communication do my OS and ortho need to have. Im going to college in the fall so Ill be leaving my current ortho. The OS here said the operation would take FIVE HOURS (upper and lower) but ive seen people say theres took much less time. Why is this? ANyways, im not really sure what kind of replies im looking for, but anyhting would be nice thanks -Hendrik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
