Orthognathic Jaw Surgery

Just so you'll know what I've been up to. If you're going to have a similar surgery, I'd love to answer any questions I can.

Did you have jaw sugary to fix an overbite if so it can be corrected with braces using elastic bands

@WhitePantherZ

You must not know very much about overbites. They can range from normal to severe, and in my (severe) case elastic bands were not an option. That only works for very minor overbites. But thanks for trying to give me a lesson on my own situation wayyyy after my correction surgery.

DId you find that the jaw surgery had any affect on your singing? if you know what i mean? like maybe easier to sing or something? and just making sure you had your bottom jaw shifted forward? great video by the way! and i love you singing

[RedBlueGreen12345]

@cadracco The only effect it had was making it more difficult to sing for long periods of time. Singing makes my jaw extremely tired and l kind of spastic. But my jaw had complications after the surgery, so that doesn't usually happen. My jaw was cut in half and half of the bottom jaw was shifted forward, hen it was screwed in place. Just so you know the joint wasn't touched.

[RedBlueGreen12345]

@JerseyGirll14 nah i could breathe okay. It was just uncomfortable/ swollen feeling.

@cadyXcatastrophy67 did you choke? it seems like you'd choke on your own puke which is disgusting to think about. Luckily for me they gave me medicine to prevent that, maybe they also did for you but it obvioulsy wasn't effective. I'm starting to bruise pretty good now I'm on day 6 post op. When did your swelling really start to reduce?

Hi. You are a brave young woman. My fourteen year old daughter will have Lefort I, sagittal split on the lower and genioplasty. What procedures did you have done. I hope you continue to do well.

You was super pretty before the operation an you couldn't really notice that much ^-^ but if it has made you happy that's all that counts, my dentist says i don't need to have it done but i'm scared xD i could've have it two years ago but i was scared then, people want to see my smile more and i wouldn't mind if they did, is the surgery really worth it though?

[banana101ham]

I dont really know if I have an overbite, but I really hope I do because I want braces. And I probably do have an overbite...
