2. Has it made you feel better about your bite and your profile?
3. This is an odd question but you know when you have the bands on your braces to keep your jaw in place...How do you brush your teeth (or is it recommended that you don't)? Just because I asked my orthodontist but he didn't tell me.
4. On a scale from 1 to 10 how bad was the pain after?
@shakira1fankate Thanks for the info. It helps when people are actually honest with you. Cause my orthodontist told me that I'll hardly be in any pain afterwards. Anyway thank you :D
@MilezToGoFan i dont sleep any new particular way although i like to have my head propped up now cuz i tend to get a lot of drainage in my throat if i dont. and the iv is the worst part, i had to get three different ones.... i HATE needles lol
wow kate you look great! your bite is awesome. i can't say i'm jealous of you, but i remember what it was like to go through the whole process of rediscovering your oral anatomy. it's a crazy feeling when you go to sleep in the hospital with things looking and feeling one way, and when you wake up its all different. you have to unlearn 20+ years of feeling! but you're really doing great. be proud that you've made it so far! : )
did it change your nose? im 12 days post op and hate my nose right now..:/

I have some questions about the surgery...
1. Would you recommend having it done?
2. Has it made you feel better about your bite and your profile?
3. This is an odd question but you know when you have the bands on your braces to keep your jaw in place...How do you brush your teeth (or is it recommended that you don't)? Just because I asked my orthodontist but he didn't tell me.
4. On a scale from 1 to 10 how bad was the pain after?
5. What was the worst bit of the surgery?
Thanks :)

@CompletelyWierd
1) yes i would recommend it, you feel so happy afterwards
2) i feel so happy with my bite now, its an amazing feeling having your teeth actually fit together.
3) u have to brush over the bands but for the first two weeks they have you just use mouth wash
4) i'd give it a 7 but the meds help somewhat
5) the worst was feeling like i couldnt breathe while i was in the hospital and just not feeling anything in ur face is weird,
