[quote=snapdresser post_id=500879 time=1520905466 user_id=24383] More people than you think mess with it. Whether it’s clenching or chomping down or sleeping on their side or chest, and we all thought we screwed it up. Our surgeons checked our scans and either the union and screws were good or they ...

[quote=snapdresser post_id=500858 time=1520778139 user_id=24383] That anxiety is totally normal during recovery :) [/quote] I know, but I keep doing things that most people wouldn't do after jaw surgery - like tugging on my upper teeth.

Hello! I'm 21 years old and planning on getting jaw surgery done as soon as possible for severe jaw asymmetry and an open bite. My orthodontist said he can refer me to whoever I want from Toronto, and I'm either gonna go with Dr Marco Caminiti or Dr Claudio Tocchio. I've heard that they are the best...
