I...Hello, I was 19 years old when I had them done. If your ortho says that, I'd go with what they say, & getting second opinion from a different doctor will never hurt, especially since the procedure is permanent and you would want a smooth surgery without complication. Every 6 months I had a check up with my surgeon for past 4 years, they measured my jaw, x-rayed, and had couple of mug shots too. If I could give you any advice, that is to ask your oral doctor if you have an asymmetrical jaw, since that was the biggest hurdle I had to face during this entire process. And as soon as you regain your consciousness from the surgery I suggest you ask your parents/family to make an appointment right away to see your surgeon (no later then 3 days from your surgery), an x-ray should be in place to double check the position of your jaw if your surgeon decide not to use screws to attach your jaw. And I'm saying this b/c if it too late to push in the jaw, one side of your jaw will be screwed in and everytime you open your mouth, you will notice it opens sideways instead of your normal up and down. Other then that, I hope this was helpful and wish you success on your future surgery. Be patient, stay strong, and eat lots! Oh and smile even more! ^_^ <3<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15498862073635232856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400583629133679781.post-34054696356080963532012-11-15T23:04:22.153-08:002012-11-15T23:04:22.153-08:00Hey there i got an underbite too and cant wait for...Hey there i got an underbite too and cant wait for my surgery.I hope it turns out well.And hey girl you look amazing now.Be proud of yourself and dont worry about the assymetry because i dont think your face is assymetrical at all.Its just perfect and you look gorgeous.It really makes me happy when i see people happy after their jaw surgeries.How old were you back then when you got this surgery done?Did you have to get some test done to check wether you're done growing or not? because i'm 19 (girl) and my ortho thinks i am not done growing yet so i think i should go and get a second opinion because i sooo want to get this surgery done.xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
