VERY VERY serious! Im so scared help!?!


Question: I I just found out that i have to do a surgery with m y jaws. Theyre gonna apparantly cut the bone and bring my chin forward. Im so freaked out. I also need braces. Whenever I chew on food, i hear a clicking sound. Im guessing its TMJ. Im horrified because I dont want to go thru that surgery in case the shape of my face gets messed up. Is there anything else I can do instead of this surgery to bring my jaw forward..maybe jus braces? Tahts not what my orthodontist said though. He said i need to do this surgery. ANY IDEAS? Has anyone ever done this surgery? Tell me about it does it hrut? any before/after results?!?! btw im only 17.
:( :(

Ask your mom or dad to get a second opinion to make sure the surgery is necessary, but it sounds like it is.
I had surgery to remove extra teeth from my jaw bone when I was 9 or 10. They put you to sleep and give you pain pills to take home so that when they wear off you just wake up and take another one.
I think you should pray about it, and remember that fear will not help you get through this. Find something to help you face it and be courageous, you'll be okay.

That sounds freaky..I don't think I've ever heard of anything being done like that. But my friend has gotten jaw surgery. She couldn't eat or move her mouth for over a week. And it sucks because she got it done during Thanksgiving.

I'm pretty sure it'll hurt but you'll be fine after a few days. Just hang on tight!

GOOD LUCK!!

Calm the f down. If the doctor said you need it, go for it. I am sure the doctor didn't recommend it just so he could get a new Benz

My husband was just involved (as an MD) with a surgery just like you describe. The girl was your age and she did very well. Make sure your parents do their research on the surgeon; that he/she has lots of experience.

It is still your choice.

ouch.... never had it.. you could always ask for a second opinion before you commit to it

i had jaw surgery and 4 teeth taken out with no anesthesia (i got my teeth numbed and had laughing gas)my mouth still feels weird but it doesn't hurt and i already have braces
im only 11 !!!

ur jaw will be a little fatter for a while and try not to talk a lot u will sound freaky

dont stress it will be all good coz they will give you something to make you sleep and by the time you wake up it will be all done

Sounds like you need to talk to someone.. I'm a 17 year old male and the only reason i seen your question is because I am going to the dentist!! Listen if you wana talk call me, (im not a stalker promis lol...)

Heres my email so i can give you my phone nubmer
