I currently have an open and over bite, which only allows me to chew with 8 teeth. I have terrible TMJ, my pain is horrible. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and can barely open my mouth. Other times I have severe pain in my ears. Anyways, the orthodontist thinks that getting braces and then having upper and lower jaw surgery is the best option for me. I am pretty scared for this. I will be getting braces this coming Thursday. If anyone has any advice for me or to make this process better, please let me know! Okay, so I am about to go through this process.

I was back to pretty much normal after a few months, but a few small spots didn't come back until the 6-12 month mark.

I am at the start of the braces phase, so my story is all in the future: Im definitely dreading the liquid diet part the most. I watched this video in jealous awe - congratulations that everything has worked out so incredibly well for you.
