I completely forgot to post my 'after' pics when I got my braces off in October so here they are:
So so happy with the result and it was totally worth all the hassle. Final comments are:
- In January 2018 (18 months after my first surgery) I am finally heavier than I was before my op.
- I also still have total numbness in my top gums above my front teeth but that is the only place.
- I get a lot of headaches - I think because I carry a lot of tension in my jaw now.
- I still cant stand the sight of soup.
- and finally (don't laugh) I am absolutely traumatised by watching jaw/face/teeth things on TV. I'm talking panic attack inducing hyperventilating sweaty FEAR. I know this may seem really stupid, but it happens more than you think.
Thank you to everyone for your lovely comments and support through this long process.
