upper and lower jaw surgery photo blog

#1 Post by misskristen »

Hi folks, I started braces a year ago, at age 29, and had upper and lower jaw surgery a month ago. The surgery lasted four hours, and kept me in the hospital for three nights. I'm documenting the entire braces/surgery/recovery experience at http://bracemyself.blogspot.com/, with daily updates and lots of photos. Check it out!

Cheers,
Kristen

Hi there Kristen, I really enjoyed reading your blog. You have a good way with words!

I'm glad you are all better now after your surgery & I hope the last of the swelling has gone down. Thanks for sharing with us!
