Blog video 1.

This is the intro to several videos I'm putting up to tell my story and experiences being born with and growing up with cleft lip and palate.

  • i have a Bilateral cleft too, i get really insecure at times because my underbite. It makes me don't wanna smile or talk to anyone sometimes. i wish i have your confidences :/

  • @Chinkyfaace Are you going through any treatment or having jaw surgery for it?

  • @Nanijohaa no, but i've been thinking about it a lot lately and i've decided i wanna get it done. i just wanna to know how long will the recovery and treatment takes before getting braces ..

  • @Chinkyfaace They usually do jaw surgery after you have your teeth aligned, but recovery could very. It took me a good couple months until I was comfortable enough to eat more solid food and chew. For some, it may even take a year or longer. If you take good care of your mouth, clean it thoroughly daily and exercise your jaw lightly without overdoing it, you may recover faster.
