Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Guys, I posted my photos in the Photos section, there's a new album there called " Gene, " so you can have a better idea what I look like. There's 5 pictures there. Please comment, now that you've read a few of my posts and are familiar with my dilemma, and have seen what I look like. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hi Gene, I couldn't tell a lot from the photos, but a couple were close enough to get a good look. I've decided that we have the same jaw. HAHA. Not exactly, but close. I have seen post from some members saying that they would do it all over. Others do have some complications, but still consider the surgery a success. I think it depends on what type of symptoms you were having prior to the surgery. Measurement of success is relevant. I denied the surgery for many years and now have decided to proceed. I have almost daily pain and problems sleeping due to the grinding. I wear a mouth gaurd at night (my husband finds this very sexy LOL), but I bite through them in about 3 weeks. This causes a lot of pain, but does keep anyone from putting their fingers in my mouth while I'm sleeping. I know I will be giving that security up when I have the surgery, but I am going to have to take the risk. My doc has offered to send me to pain managment, but I have a low tolerance to meds and don't wish to go that route. Also, as I get older the assymetry is becoming more obvious. I am going to look at the site you post earlier and if a non-surgical option (that works) is out there I will certainly give it a try.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Gene - I couldn't tell much from your photos, because it appeared that your teeth were showing in only two of the five pictures. Try taking close-ups of your mouth open and teeth showing, okay? ~~ Diane > Guys, > > I posted my photos in the Photos section, there's a new album there > called " Gene, " so you can have a better idea what I look like.
