New, looking for information

[Guest guest]

Weeell...

I'm 17 and just got my 4 wisdom teeth pulled (ouch), and the next

step, according to my orthodontist, is surgery to correct my

cross/small underbite. He didn't mention the name of the surgery, but

I found out mostly on my own (thank god for google).

So anyways, what he said they'll do is break my lower jaw and realign

it, then they're gonna have to do a bone graph on my upper jaw to

correct it. I've never really been under the knife and it's pretty

damn terrifying... not to mention expensive.

If anyone has any information as far as what's gonna happen, what I

should expect/do/not do, etc, it would be appreciated.
