Well I thought I would pop back in and do an update.

I had my appoint with the Maxi Dr yesterday. I was in tears before the appointment because i had worked myself up about it :oops:

Basically, and from what I can remember, I will have 6 - 12 months of braces and then for surgery they will bring the bottom jaw forward 10 - 12mm with Genioplasty and they will do the upper jaw - shave it and bring it out and up.

He said that both medically (for the OSA) and aestetically sp* I will benefit from both.

I had a really good cry about it again after the appointment. It all just seems so overwhelming.

So now I will make the appointment with the Ortho to get the braces done.



Also the op is alot cheaper than I expected - so that's a bonus!

Good for you.
I'll bet you felt a lot better going in with an understanding of what he was talking about, thanks to meryaten's explanation!

Are you feeling positive about it now? I hope so.
