Jaw Surgery Update



I know i have shared my journey through this jaw problem and my top jaw did not grow right causing it to not connect right and that's all i have ever wanted fixed. My TMJ is being cured so i won't have that anymore after my braces come off thank goodness cause i couldn't stand TMJ pain anymore. I have learned some devastating news at my consultation appointment with my orthodontist he said surgery would be worthless at this point and says no to surgery. I knew something was up when he stopped talking about it a couple of months ago. So instead of him sending me to see my Oral Surgeon he will be meeting up with him to talk about this and see what my oral surgeon thinks about this if surgery is still needed and my orthodontist told me if surgery is still needed he will be okay with it and if the oral surgeon wants to see me he will call me. I could tell he was very nervous about it since we don't know how far my oral surgeon wants to move my top jaw. I have been in tears lately just wondering why we can't fix my top jaw with out moving it forward. At this point i want to give up and be done if there is no surgery than why keep my braces on. I'd want my braces off and of course i now have to wait till October 18th to find out if surgery is happening or not. So there is a little hope but i doubt by much it won't be happening. I just wanted to eat right again for once. I haven't had a salad for 2 years now all thanks to this stupid problem. My oral surgeon was the one that was willing to fix this all for me i even tried talking him out of doing it with out braces and he wouldn't do it so he told me as long as i got my braces back on for it he would do it. I just don't want any problems in the future like 5 years later all the sudden feel this again. That's how long it took for this problem to appear 5 years ago last year. If anything i'll want out of this i'll talk my orthodontist into taking my braces off and believe me i know a way to get him to take them off as i have done it with my last orthodontist. I know there's a saying that says " do not live with regrets" i'm regretting this one BIG time. If surgery is still a no go on October 18th i will have wasted time and money on this all for nothing. It hurts that i will have to live with my top jaw not connected right. I should of really took the time to look more into this while i was still thinking about jaw surgery. I regret putting my braces back on and i could hate myself for putting myself through this. Why did they put me on a freaking dumb 15 months wait for this pointless crap than if its worthless now. If this all fails i have learned my lesson to never ever again waste thousands of dollars on this mouth of mine. I will just have to adjust to letting this jaw be screwed up. For those who might be going through the same thing as me wanting to get it fixed get lots of opinions on it before just putting braces back on for no reason after all. I feel so stupid not looking more into it before i got my braces back on. I really hope there's a happy ending to this so my jaw can be connect right but other than that i'm doubting it but i'll find out the final answer on October 18th. It was worth a shot though. :)
