  • @BMXTrickster1 Ah thank you! will have to do some thinking if i want it done. Thanks for the help :-)

  • @aimeejohnson96 I had this done on the 17th of February, and I am 17 years old, haha! Anyways, it's a 6 week recovery period, all on a liquid diet. Im having to wear braces for 6 months after.

    There's no effect in the long run, you'll be perfectly normal when it's all healed. Only thing is, it's really difficult to speak. And you'll be really uncomfortable the first few days after surgery. Keep taking painkillers when need be, after a week you won't need them anymore. Hope I helped!

  • I have this problem and when im 17 might have to get this done, has anyone ever had it done because im so unsure on the process of it. How long does recovery take?, how long do you have to wear a brace before and after (ive had a brace before but couldnt keep the retainer in because i cant bite) and does it affect you in the long run?, will i have to do certain things for the rest of my life or not. If anyone can explain to me that would be great!!

  • That's almost exactly what I just had done!!

  • Oh HELL no!!

  • That... would be sore.
