Annie here, had surgery Oct 2003

[Guest guest]

Maybe some of you still remember me? I had upper jaw surgery to

correct an open bite and got my retainer off in April this year. I

also got Married on the 29th of April so it was great to be able to

smile without being self conscious that day.

I'm just a little concerned as since my retainers have come off,

unfortunately my bite has changed. I saw the surgeon a few weeks ago

and he seemed a bit disappointed too. My midline is off and my bite

is starting to open again, although no where near as bad as it was

originally. My teeth are quite straight though, which i'm happy

with.

I will be meeting with the ortho and surgeon again in October to

discuss this further. I'm worried that they may want to do further

surgery..i'm not sure if i want to..i think i could live with my

current bite although it may get worse.

I'm a bit disappointed however i have no regrets whatsoever about

having my surgery as it was a success and my teeth are much better

than they were. I don't want to depress anyone who is going through

this now, what has happened to me is probably quite rare. I would

love to hear your feedback. I have missed the support from you guys.
