PLEASE I need answers about Jaw Surgery!?!


Question:

PLEASE I need answers about Jaw Surgery!?

I am planning on having jaw surgery sometime in my life and I was wondering for those who have gone through this could give me more insight about the issue. Is there ever any problems after the surgery? How bad could things go wrong? Is there a lot of pain after the surgery and for how long? Is the pain there throughout your life? Any information can help please!


Answers:

Am not sure exactly what type "jaw" surgery you mean. I have had TMJ surgery several years ago because my bite caused my joint to go out of socket and locked my jaw open. It had to be operated on to be put back in place. I had a wonderful doctor, no pain since then, no pain medicine since.
But if you are talking about reconstructive surgery to the jaw due to bite problems I did not have that but wore braces for 2 and 1/2 years and saved me from having the surgery.
Check with an orthodontist and see what they say if you are having problems of that kind.
Hope this helped but I was unsure what type you meant.
