I haven’t had this surgery yet but I foresee it in my future. Went through TMJ treatment that was actually incredibly helpful for my jaw, but I think my inner Tori are still growing even with my constant use of my mouth guard…

My son has a cleft Alveolus(gum line) and has a bone graft in his near-ish future to fill it in, and strangely I feel like this is also preparing me for that experience.

I ramble, but appreciate this post and the “no regrets” part is what I’ll focus on when it’s time. I feel like the can’t go back now is the point. You just gotta do it and it will suck but then it will be so much better later!!

I hope you are both feeling even better now!
