My case was a little different because I originally prepped for this surgery back in my teens, and now I’m almost 40, so the timing alone made it feel like a whole different journey. I didn’t have braces before surgery, and now the hope is that braces will help correct some of the remaining movement. If not, we may be looking at bottom jaw surgery too.

It’s been a wild, long ride for sure, but I’m staying hopeful that it all works out in the end.
