Okay, so let’s talk about my underbite. It was pretty noticeable, and honestly, it kinda bugged me. I mean, it affected how I ate, and sometimes I felt like people were staring. So, I started looking into getting it fixed.
First, I went to see a bunch of orthodontists and surgeons. I had consultations, got x-rays, and they all took pictures of my face and teeth. It was a lot, but I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing, and they all said the same thing – I need surgery to fix my jaw.
I picked a surgeon who seemed to know his stuff and made me feel comfortable. Then came the waiting game. Before the surgery, I had to wear braces for a while. The orthodontist was trying to get my teeth ready for the big day. The braces were a pain, no doubt, but it was part of the process.
Surgery Day
Finally, surgery day arrived. I was nervous as heck, but I knew it was gonna be worth it. They put me to sleep, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery. My face was swollen like a balloon, and I was in some serious pain. But, the surgery was done.
The recovery was tough. I was on a liquid diet for weeks. My jaw was wired shut. I had to learn how to talk all over again. It was a struggle, but I kept pushing through.
Slowly but surely, the swelling went down. I started to see the changes in my face. My bite was finally aligning. I could chew properly. It was amazing to see the transformation.
After the Surgery
- Went back to the orthodontist to get my braces off.
- Started to feel like my old self again, but better.
- Felt more confident in my smile.
It’s been a long journey, but I’m so glad I did it. My underbite is gone. I feel so much better about myself. If you’re dealing with an underbite, don’t be afraid to explore your options. It might just change your life.
This whole experience taught me a lot about patience and perseverance. There were times I wanted to give up, but I kept going. And now, I’m reaping the rewards. It’s not just about how I look, it’s about how I feel. And I feel great!
So yeah, that’s my underbite jaw surgery story. It was a wild ride, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.
