okay, so im getting braces this december. And My orthodontics told me that im wearing it for 1year and half and after that, im going on a jaw surgery ! and he said i`ll have the braces for another year? .What Im wondering though is ? If i would ever go for jaw surgery ? Do i have to wear something like supporter like through around my head & jaw? for the whole year that im going to have with the braces on? .. =\ im really scared .. of the surgery. So please give me a good answer!!?!!
No, i think so, may be you are having something called skeletal malocclusion(i.e.related to jaw bone,but not to the teeth) due to which your dentist has decided to perform jaw surgery. I think you only have to undergo fixing of the both jaws by orthodontic wires called as arch wires , may be for two weeks,after the surgery.You have to rinse your mouth with mouthwash and take soft liquid diet.Take care.Goodluck.
