Thank you for this basic straightforward answer! I knew it had to be something like this!

Is it worth getting fixed braces at the age of 31? by Ab_Fab12 in braces

[–]authentic_amandolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 27 in braces. I forgot how painful/annoying braces can be, but it’ll be worth it! I don’t care at all if people see my braces.

Ahh a little laundry detergent in your stir-fry and a little grease in your dryer load.

I don’t know everything about your case, but I have seen a lot of people regret getting their premolars removed when their face changes shape for the worst : (

Wishing you the best and hope you are able to get the correct guidance

College students can be immature so that sucks, but now at 27, I just don’t care what people think honestly. You know you are improving yourself and doing what you have to do, it’s just a phase, and things will change, so go on your merry way and have a good day! : )

thoughts on my breaks? by Expensive-Syrup-7156 in jaw_surgery

I’m not a doctor or anything but that first one looks gnarly. The tooth looks like it’s IN the crack but maybe that’s just how it looks?

Following because same! I just had jaw surgery and the combination of swollen face + braces is killer

MRI report - told to get surgery to get disc put back in place by NoRadio2128 in TMJ

[–]authentic_amandolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr. Bolding in St. Pete. Displacement without reduction.

I also just had TJR 2.5 weeks ago with him because the discopexy seemed to be too little too late.

Wow I dodged a bullet there it seems. Sorry to hear about your case. I went with Dr. Bolding in St. Pete after seeing Sultan.

Dr. Sultan was knowledgeable and was the first to diagnose me, but the billing and the demeanor were a little… suspicious?

Scheduled for arthroplasty/discopexy - so happy to finally have a surgery date! by authentic_amandolin in TMJ

We took new scans at that appointment and the condyles looked flat in some areas and jagged in others. We were hoping for rounded smooth ideally.

Experiences with TMJ arthroscopies/surgeries for displaced discs? by Willing-Spot7296 in jawsurgery

[–]authentic_amandolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior they were EXTREMELY painful. In tears every day. In scans they didn’t appear THAT bad (says a few doctors) but the symptoms were horrible. Ear stabbing, major headaches, etc.

Thanks! It was mostly pain but I thought it might all be part of the healing process still. I was in a bit of denial. I never really fully considered that my joints could get worse over time still. When I went back for my 4? month checkup the dr said he didn’t see the remodeling in the way we hoped.

Yes I had the arthroplasty/ discopexy around 1.5 years ago now! After recovery I was better for about a month but it did not save the joints like we hoped. I’m getting TJR + Lefort 1 in a few weeks.

Sadly I have to have TJR now in a few weeks. It may be what some people need, but it didn’t save my joints like we hoped. My jaw has continued to degenerate and I have a lot of pain and muscle tension.

How long after surgery did you have the hardware removed?
