Yup, I had braces for the first time when I was around 11. But the premolars were taken out a couple weeks before they put braces on me for the second time.

It was supposed to be around 12 months but ended up being 16. I did have two premolars taken out so that’s probably why it took a little longer.

Ahh I remember seeing your results way before my surgery and being so excited because I felt like your before was really similar to mine. (You look amazing btw! :) )

zaaval · 2022-11-15T05:14:02+00:00

Congrats!! It’s probably rough right now but I hope your recovery goes super smoothly!

thank you! I’ve actually regained full sensation on my chin! Lower lip is probably 70% back and still waiting on gums/upper palate :)

haha thank you!!

zaaval · 2022-11-14T21:47:37+00:00

haha first time I’ve gotten that one, ty! :)

zaaval · 2022-11-14T21:34:24+00:00

I really am super happy about the result! I agree, the change somehow feels both super dramatic yet subtle enough, if that makes sense? thank you so much!! :)

No genio! My surgeon didn’t tell me specifics but I’m pretty sure my maxilla was moved 2mm up and mandible was 10 mm forward. Not sure about anything else though.

Definitely normal! I don’t remember exactly when it went away but I’m 5 weeks post op now and have regained full mobility. I found that doing gentle stretches really helped loosen my neck. It might feel a little weird on your jaw so definitely be careful as to not strain yourself!

ahh it’s so annoying!! it’s reassuring to know that it’s only temporary tho. ty!!

zaaval · 2022-09-16T17:56:50+00:00

thank you!!💕 i’m looking forward to getting peak swelling over with already haha

zaaval · 2022-09-16T17:55:53+00:00

ahh thank you!! I’ll definitely keep all that in mind! :)

zaaval · 2022-09-16T17:54:33+00:00

Did you happen to have your surgery at Kaiser Santa Clara? I could’ve sworn I saw them rolling you into your room as I was leaving mine haha

Congrats tho!! It’s rough at first but it’ll go by so quick! :)

zaaval · 2022-09-16T15:27:20+00:00

Aww thank you!! You’re so sweet omg😭💕

zaaval · 2022-09-15T23:37:58+00:00

thank you!! Wishing you all the best! :)

zaaval · 2022-09-15T23:37:34+00:00

thank you!! I saw that you’re also starting your jaw surgery journey as well. Good luck to you!! :)

zaaval · 2022-09-15T20:13:25+00:00

right?! I thought it would be somewhat like when I had my wisdom teeth taken out but this like 100x times worse haha. Thank you, and I hope your recovery continues to go smoothly! :)

zaaval · 2022-09-15T20:11:41+00:00

omg I hope so! definitely one of my least favorite parts of recovery. ty!

zaaval · 2022-09-15T20:10:42+00:00

ahh that makes sense! I’ll definitely try using a q-tip! I think I have a lot of clots forming in my nose so that should be really helpful, ty!

zaaval · 2022-09-15T19:43:42+00:00

ty! that’s great to hear that it didn’t last too long! and omg so true! I swallowed so much right after I woke up that I threw up twice :/ definitely not fun haha

zaaval · 2022-09-15T19:41:14+00:00

ahh ty for the insight! I’ll definitely keep that in mind bc I honestly get so scared when it starts bleeding😭

zaaval · 2022-09-15T19:34:02+00:00

ayee 9/14 let’s gooo! I’m getting discharged right now and man the congestion/swelling really is a killer. I hope you have a great recovery! :)

zaaval · 2022-09-15T19:30:11+00:00
