Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hi everyone... I have been checking out this group for a couple of weeks. My dentist informed me that my bite problem was " extensive " and recommended surgery this year or next. I have an underbite, my bottom jaw is out and over from where it should be. I have my orthodontist consult as well as my OS consult next week so of course I have tons of questions. If I get my way, I would like to have the surgery this year. My biggest question now is how long will I have to have my braces on prior to surgery as I had braces for 2 years (age 15-17) and am now 22 years old. My dentist said my teeth look really good and I shouldn't have the braces on too long. Have any of you run into this too? How long did you have to have braces on pre-surg after already having them? I know my orthodontist will be the true judge... just trying to tame my curiosity until then. Thanks/Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
