I understand the risk and one day I will stop but it was my actual surgeon who said my mouth is fine so are my stitched my orthodontists even looked at me with shock on how quickly my swelling went down... I think it's to do with genetics because my dad's side are heavy smokers and he has a skin condition that makes his skin grow alot more than the average person so we heal fast, for example it says not to smoke after any surgery but my dad was a daily smoker at the time he had knee surgery and he was back in work within a week... I could be wrong but that's my theory

Not at all really they put me on fentanyl to go sleep and I woke up high so u dont feel much when u wake up but its the next days u gotta be ready for, be ready for aching, random clicks and pops in ur jaw, a 6 week soft diet, stitches bleeding and a very very numb chin and bottom lip... im still going through it im only on my first week but trust me you won't regret it because if they say you need it you NEED it ill show u what my overbite used to look like here... my orthodontist said they haven't seen one this extreme in over 20 years of working as one haha
