At 22 I made the decision to go on the NHS waiting list to correct my 12mm type 2 Malocclusion (where my top teeth where 12mm in front of my bottom teeth/overbite) This process consisted of SARPE (Surgically assisted rapid expansion) Train track braces for 2 years and jaw surgery to move both my upper and lower jaw
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWhere are you now with your treatment?

Wow! I can relate I found someone who had exactly what I had done. I laughed and cryed it was like it was happening to me all over again. I had sarpe and the whole gap thing just like your pictures, you were brave enough to post them. It took a whole year for my gap to close. I went through a major depression after awhile. Now I may have to go for another surgery just when I thought things were going good. Well I wish you all the luck lets just say hopefully it will be worth it in the end for us. What stage are you at by the way?
ReplyDeleteI'm just beginning my jaw surgery journey aged 22. How did you feel having braces and surgery at this age? I feel a little daunted by the prospect of wearing braces for two years! Enjoying your blog, keep up the brilliant writing xx
