newbie

Hi

I am new to the board & wanted to introduce myself.

I am 37 and in consultation for braces followed by surgery on upper & lower jaws due to a class 3.

Have enjoyed reading everyones posts so far and look forward to gaining advice & sharing my experience as things progress.

It's daunting, terrifying and exciting in equal measure!

so, anyway - "hi!"

Hi!

I am also a noob. Going to meet an ortho this week (Wednesday) for a consult, and have another consult in a couple weeks.

I will be heading the surgery route eventually as well. I have a 10mm overjet and was told when I was 9 that I would require surgery.

Good luck to both of you in your journeys, I will look forward to updates from you!

I'm a first time poster as well. Double jaw surgery was recommended to about 6 years ago but I wasn't happy with the orthodontist or surgeon and didn't even proceed with braces (which I wanted/needed for other reasons). Anyway, I'm now almost 30 looking to improve my smile and bite and want second and third opinions about the surgery aspect!

Hello everybody.
I am a new user and I am surprised about the surgery options in modern times. Unfortunately I do have An end-to-end bite which is not recognised until my 40s. My former dentist did not believe my story. Now I have well preserved molars but highly eroded incisors. With composites we manage to get a more or less stable situation. When a surgery had been Done in time, my teeth would have been almost perfect...
