    I am currently 6 days post op and I am so physically exhausted. I’m usually up, moving around, and being productive. However, like this jaw surgery took a toll on my physical energy. I’m definitely learning to not push too far especially so early on.

    I really wish I could just go ahead and get the surgery. having an underbite that effects the symmetry of your face and makes you so self conscious and anxious pretty much whenever you’re around people sucks. but I have to wait until I’m 20. But your videos have really been so helpful with everything!

      @MoreKait  2 года назад +1

      You'll be 20 before you know it 🥰 Try to just embrace it for now and look forward to the future. I know it can be tough to not be self-conscious about how you look... But I promise you you notice it more than others do.

    I only watched the first half but I am 5 weeks tomorrow and your videos are so helpful and I agree with everything you said. I had a Class II Division I bite (a deep bite) and I at rest I would hold my tongue in between my teeth 😳. Now post surgery I am practicing proper tongue posture but I still catch myself putting my tongue between my teeth so it takes time to memorize new tongue posture. I also went to the ortho at 3.5 weeks and am in bands 24 hours a day… I was told 6 months in braces but like you I’m so ready to get them off and especially now with the bands it’s hard to talk without a lisp.

    • @MoreKait
      @MoreKait  2 года назад

      6 months will fly by! And just think how good your teeth are going to look with your new bite with the braces off 🤩
      Let us pray we can keep our tongues in check 😂 and not get lazy!

    You got lucky. I'm still super swollen and I'm on my 3rd week. I had to request an extra 3 week off to recover because I still can't talk properly. I can't wait for this to be over and to be able to start eating a hamburger again.

    • @MoreKait

    Hi Kait would you say you have recovered fully from double jaw surgery or do you still have numbness? I’ve found your blogs so informative actually yours are the best I’ve watched !
    Im now 2 weeks post double jaw surgery, can’t believe I’ve done

    Thanks, Kait, for a very informative video. I am glad you feel much better. Thank you for keeping us updated on your progress. You are a warrior!
    I too did have a retainer & I hated it. I had the exterior one that I just never wore. I was mortified when they wired it to my mouth! I cut it off. I mean I was in high school! 😩 I’m sure my teeth shifted but I don’t care.
    I got all my wisdom teeth out too. They normally recommend it so it won’t mess up with the dental work. That was so easy. I was like you, no pain at all. I was literally eating a cheeseburger the same day. 😂 But I did wish I had iced it. I still have a grayish bruise marks to this day 30 years later.

    • @MoreKait
      @MoreKait  2 года назад +1

      Retainers are the worst! I wish I understood when I was younger how important they were. I was lucky in a sense that I needed to get braces again for this surgery because I could notice the shift in my teeth from not wearing the retainer and it haunted me 😂
      Oh wow the bruise has lasted this long! That is nuts.

    Hello, I suffer from the same problem as you. I am 18 years old. I had a joint resection operation due to excessive growth of the right lower jaw. Now I am taking the surgical procedures to perform braces to complete the surgical plan. Then my surgeon will perform a major operation to return the lower jaw to its original position. I am not confident in my decision and I am nervous. Do you advise me to do it??

    Hi Kait, thanks for sharing your experience.
    After the surgery and getting the braces off after recovery stage did you keep the metal plates/screws in your mouth? Or did do you get another surgery to remove them?

      @MoreKait  2 года назад

      I have private health insurance which covered a significant portion (the hospital stay would have been $40,000 without 😂) but it cost me $10k out of pocket including orthodontics and everything.

      @MoreKait  2 года назад +2

      No, I actually noticed right away that it was A LOT easier for me to breath through my nose! There would be some dried blood at time during the first week which made it slightly difficult since you aren't supposed to blow your nose, but overall breathing was better right away 🥰
