So I've now had braces for 31 months and there is no surgery date in sight. After waiting this long i'm struggling to see the pros of continuing the treatment as i'm not sure if I can mentally take the jaw surgery process for much longer! The lack of progress in the treatment is unbearable, especial...

My orthodontist said I should be ready for jaw surgery in early 2017, although by that time I would have worn braces for around 30 months. Is it normal to have to wait that long for the surgery?
