I don't know what my case is called now... my lower jaw is much smaller than usual and chin is small. I'm living in Georgia and Orthodonist told me that it'd be better if we remove the bottom two teeth (not wisdom teeth), one on each side. and then the surgery will bring the jaw forward. so what's my condition called?
anyways, so they are going to put something called splints before they put braces on my teeth to make my joints healthier first. because apparently my right joint has been 'degenerated' and the joint is popping out alittle and making my jaws feel sore.
remove two teeth, get braces, bring the bottom front teeth back. (12 months estimated)
get surgery to lengthen the jaw and genioplasty for the chin.
(cutting the tip of my chin and moving it to a position that makes my facial profile more natural)
1 month of closed mouth. (losing 10 pounds of weight too)
another braces for 12 months. (estimated)
that sounds doable. the only thing that worries me is the cost. my parents are paying for me.
how many of you guys had parents paying for your surgery and how much did that cost?
