Going into my ortho today to get surgical hooks, double jaw surgery is scheduled for August 30th at 8:30 am! Hope these hooks aren't super annoying and/or painful, some people seem really bothered and some not at all. I have ceramic braces and an overbite so if they are noticeable, they will be to e...

SARPE was really soooo much easier then I imagined, the worst part is the anxiety. Constantly scouring this board was a blessing to keep me informed but also made me so nervous.
