wow, I knew you were having jaw surgery, but I missed the initial post — that's almost exactly what I'm having done! (I'm also having some fake bone grafted into my top jaw because it's too small to hold the extra teeth they want to insert — I currently only have 22 teeth and my mouth is pretty full)

I don't need braces — at least, as far as I know, and my dentist printed out a sheet that details everything, every step of the way.

I'm not even going to be able to start mine for another 6 months or a year, I just can't afford it right now

*hugs*
