Metal Mouth Message Board

Hello! I'm 34 and about to have double jaw surgery on 9/10. I've known I needed jaw surgery since I was 16 when after my first set of braces didn't correct an open/overbite and the Ortho said I'd needed braces again plus surgery. My parents didn't have the money to buy me a new mouth of metal, so I had to wait until I was an adult with decent insurance to get my jaws fixed.

Thankfully, my insurance is covering the surgery and I have a husband who is awesome and will take great care of me.

So, that's me and my metal mouth history!

I'm the same age and will be in the same boat as you soon! I'm not having any surgery, but will be back in braces. I'm a little nervous about it, but hoping they will help correct my bite issues.

Good luck!!
