Hi to all,

Been lurking and asking some questions for about a week now and perhaps should

explain my situation better. I am 47 years old. I have pretty bad top teeth and

I went to the dentist to see about dental inplants and a prothesis on the upper.

He sent me to orthodontist/oral maxilliofacial of which said in order to do the

inplants, I would need either bone grafts or move my jaw up some. So, in the

surgery he wants to pull my top 3 teeth (they are not very good and will not

last but a few more years anyway). He also wants to move the top jaw forward and

he also wants to insert the inplants. I think that is a LOT of stuff being done

at one surgery. Anyone else having anything like this done? I am scared but I

have had a second opinion and that dentist says the same thing: its either bone

grafts or surgery. Also, my jaw is quite out of line w/bottom jaw. I brought

this up now because I have recently noticed that there are some women/men in the

group that are around my age. The only positive I see here is that I am not in

braces and do not have to worry about being " wired " .

Thanks for the input.
