Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I'm 24 and just got braces yesterday. I already had them for four years in high school..but since then, my teeth have shifted, and my jaw has grown incorrectly (i have a cross- bite and it shifts to the left) Anyways, I'm on schedule to have surgery performed in a year and I am already so scared. How long does it normally take to recover? Does it hurt tremendously?? I already feel stupid enough in braces, so I can only imagine how silly I will look with a puffed face and bruising. Anyone who has gone through surgery..how bad was it? Was it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi, I'm 20 and have had these set of braces in for 15 months, I am five months post-op. I have no regrets about going through with the surgery it was the best decision I have done! --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
