Guest guest Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Haven't been on here for a couple of years so i hardly recognise any of the names anymore! I was due to start the whole orthognathics thing back in early 2003 which was due to begin with some extractions under general anesthetic. Clever me then fell pregnant so everything had to go on hold for what seemed like an eternity as they wouldn't anesthetise me whilst pregnant or for several months post natal. I finally got my extractions done January of this year and two weeks ago got full braces on my lower teeth and a quad helix fitted for the upper. And now that everything has finally gotten started i am begining to wonder just what the hell i am doing!! I thought it hurt after the extractions as i had a mouth full of stitches and excessive swelling due to un-errupted teeth being removed from the roof of my mouth and inside my gum aswell as my wisdom teeth. Then when i got my braces it hurt even more, even 2 weeks on i can't yet bite without pain and find i would just rather not eat then have soup again! (very effective dietry aids braces aren't they!) What am i going to be like after the actual surgery!? I'm a wuss i admit it! I'm due to have both upper and lower jaw surgery and a little genioplasty thrown in for good measure, it's not going to happen for at least 12 months but i will probably have worried myself to death by then anyway! Anyone want to give me a little re-assurance and tell me that it's not as bad as i think it will be, you can lie if you have to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
