My son's braces come off tomorrow!

Hi all, just a happy day coming up tomorrow...his braces will be off, and it will just about be the end of the journey. He is really looking forward to it!
He had BSSO lower jaw advancement with chin implant. We have also talked with the surgeon, who may be willing to "switch out" the smaller implant with a slightly larger one. If that takes place, it won't quite be the "end of the journey" but that's okay, supposedly the chin implant switch is not a huge deal.
I will let you know what happens with the implant. The surgeon wants the braces off before he does it. I'll see if I can post pics of my son's profile after the braces are off.

Glad too that your surgeon is working with him to ensure the very best outcome for him. Take care and all the best for tomorrow. God bless xx
