Throwback to the day I got braces 🥲 ruclips.net/video/PZWGX-QGd1A/видео.html
I got a double jaw surgery 2 weeks ago. I am still swollen but already so happy with the result! Thank you for sharing your experience! I watched your videos before I had my surgery, and they helped a lot for me to prepare mentally. The first 6 days after the surgery was challenging but from day 7 it got a lot better and my recovery has been very smooth since then! So happy to see you being happy with the result! You look so pretty and confident :)
Awesome to hear! You’re past the worst of it for sure 😁
Who was your doctor
Thank you for sharing your story. This is much after the fact, but I am 33 and have a class 3 underbite. I think I'm finally going to start the process. You're an inspiration for everyone that needs this! Definitely wish I didn't halt the process in 2021, during the pandemic
Thank you so much for your videos. I am 51 years old and started my braces journey 2 weeks before my 50th birthday. I never had any trouble breathing or chewing but my teeth are badly off to the left and I too have my canine tooth that was above the rest of my teeth. They attempted to use a pallatal expander that failed because my suture line on the roof of my mouth was off center as well. So now my only options for straight centered teeth is to have at least my upper jaw shifted. If I want an even bottom jaw then it would be double jaw surgery as I also have one side longer than the other. It is such a daunting thought to have the surgery but your videos and others I have seen has given me hope. So thank you for posting your journey.
My 18 yr old son is 10 weeks post op tomorrow. Your videos really got ME through it emotionally. He was fine, LOL. THANK YOU!!!!
I’m so glad it all went well!!!! And happy my videos provided you some peace of mind 🥰
You are a beautiful young lady. I have enjoyed seeing your progress over time. I am sorry others made fun of your braces in the past. Live the dream! Live your best life.
🤗🤗
Hey Kait!! I know this is a very late response to your video, but I just wanted to say thank you!! I just had my jaw surgery yesterday and I’m recovering in the hospital until noon today! Your videos helped me so much and soothed my nerves immensely!! Thanks girl 💕
How’s the numbness? Is it extreme or minor?
@@yungtux8770 It’s been 5 weeks since surgery and I’m still a little bit numb. Only on the inside of my mouth though! The numbness on the outside is minimal. Only a slight tingle.
Your videos about your journey have really helped me come to accept this big decision. I’m 26 and have been back and forth, toying with the decision for 10 years. I’ve finally decided to go through with it and have an appointment with the joint clinic next month. It’s such a daunting thing, so thank you.
You’ve got this! ❤️
Wow thank you Soo much for this video , I’m 26 I’ve hated my chin my whole life now I’m finally going to get the surgery in October I know it’s going to change my life 😊
I had the surgery too a week ago and it’s so crazy to see others who go through the same thing. Thanks so much for your video
I’m so here for this!! You rock for going for it … super proud of you, you’re a kick arse role model, and I pray u feel so 🔥🔥🔥 all the time 🌼🌈😘
Thank you ❤️❤️
Your teeth look so much better. Congrats! It's painful but now you're on the other side enjoying the results :)
Thank you! So well explained & you’re such a lovely person. I’m hoping to get the surgery next year!
I'm sooo happy for you Kait! We take for granted just being able to bite properly, this must be life changing. ❤
❤️❤️
I will be Having my jaw surgery in the beginning of april, (2 weeks)
I appreciate Your videos because it is nice to see someone who has a positive attitude and tried to stay healthy and what was able to go through it well!
My jaw It's very similar to yours. So I am enthusiastic to be able to enjoy less pain, better eating and smelling and NOT avoiding my "bad side" in pictures Because I noticed that my jaw is crooked in pictures and in the mirror!!!! Thank you for the motivation!!!!
I’m getting braces this month. This surgery is an option for me to correct my overbite. I’m strongly considering the surgery to get the best possible outcome. These videos are helpful.
wow i am so glad i found your video! i feel like we are in very similar situations with the whole jaw thing, but my lower jaw is too short and is going to be corrected next april. i am already in braces and am very worried about the liquid diet and already want to know how i can prepare myself for everything. i feel like you give great advice and i'm gonna check out your other videos too especially the meal plan haha
I’m just seeing this video as recommended by RUclips I believe you did the surgery right before me and definitely help me. You looking beautiful my friend double jaw surgery was one I would never forget but like you mentioned it was well worth it however I had bad cons it is now getting there! Godbless you
Like seriously no lie..you looked good before..but I can see the difference in the after results..you look amazing 😍
😇😇
I'm so stoked for you that there's nothing left to say!
It would be sweet if you put a before and after photo side by side on your community page! Would be cool to compare the two.
Thanks Devin! I will post the before and after 🤗
I am waiting to see the official photos from my surgeon!
You look amazing thank you for sharing I’m having double jaw surgery for a bad overbite I’m terrified to go
This lady is my DJS role model she handled the swelling beautifully. I'm getting me one of those ice rollers.
Cat zoomies! 😹😃 All of us have to do things for our long term heath. In the end there are no regrets. Your new smile is outstanding! 😃
................................... 😎👍👍
😁😁
So happy for you Kait!
Thanks Eric 🤗
You're far braver than I am. I'm going to spend a year or more in vivos mMRNA trying to get my palate to be more normal sized and shaped. I can barely even stand the idea of having surgery on my tongue for ankyloglossia next year, and that's just all soft tissue. it's fantastic that it's working for you.
I am sure your procedure won’t be as bad as you think ❤️ You’ve got this!
You have a great smile! I have a very bad over bite, so wish I had done this, but will get by since I am 65 now
You look amazing!!! I’m getting mine in June 💀
I'd be curious to hear what you think of my theory about swelling reducing over even 6 or even 12 months! I guess you're six months past surgery now? It would be interesting to hear you cover this topic in the future (perhaps at the 6, 9, or 12 month marks)! Keep us updated if you like =)
Cute Kait. My wife has the same malocclusion (overbite). She´s German so she has a really cute accent. She didn´t have the surgery. I couldn´t love her any less tho.
ah you look absolutely awesome!
i’m coming up on 2mos for double jaw surgery & what i’m struggling w the most is trying to get used to my smile/face bc it’s not my perception of ‘me’
i’m doing exercises and can open a bit, but it’s still super stiff and don’t really like the look (mind over matter currently bc surgery went great). i keep saying that it’s temporary and at 2 months there’s still minimal swelling, and that it will change as time goes by but that’s the hardest thing to go by right now.
how’d you go about that? did you feel like you didn’t recognize yourself at all? even minor alterations can really affect someone’s look so i’m just curious
Has anyone here had jaw surgery for an open bite? It is INCREDIBLY difficult to find videos on here from people that have an open bite.
Mine was slightly open. Have you looked on TikTok? Lots of jaw surgery videos there!
Hi Kait,
Iam on week 4 pos op. I noticed my face is slightly asymmetrical. The left half numbs more than the right half and the left side of my lip is pulling down a little bit. Not sure if it's normal. My surgeon said because it's more swollen on the left.
Hi, what about the metal plates and screws he puts in his jaw? Are they permanent??
What about the metal plates and screws they put in my jaw? Do they stay in place for life?
So, I didn’t get to watch your whole vid cause my internet keeps cutting you out (I’ll keep trying). I left you a comment several months ago about me also have double jaw surgery (TMJ w/braces while in dental school & back in the early 90s, it wasn’t covered by insurance cause they considered it “cosmetic”). Yeah, right, it’s cosmetic when you click while eating 🤔! Anyway, just wondering if you had PT for yours? Like opening your mouth with you fingers. Man, that’s some pain. But I fear after 25+ yrs I might have to have it again, the jaw pain & headaches are back. TMI? I know, sorry. 😬Anyhow Cait, I wish you a speedy recovery & that you don’t have to experience any more pain down the line. Take care & I’ll still be watching even if I don’t comment a lot. A “sub-er” from NC 🇺🇸
I’m sorry I missed your other comment! No, I haven’t had any PT, but I also am not having any pain when I open or anything. Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
Did you take the COVID vaccine?
Oh my God. Lets see. Knocked my two front teeth out when I was 10. Had a removable plate for 10 years. Then I made some money and went for it and had braces top and bottom, lip bumpers, rubber bands, braces and a permanent bridge put in. Then had caps on my 6 front lower teeth. Took about 18 months. What an ordeal. My teeth are nowhere near as good as yours but still presentable. Congratulations. They did a great job for you.
Hey Kait, just wondering what your thoughts or opinions are. I’m about to have the same surgery with my Dr here in Tx. He has two years of experience as a jaw surgeon and 6 years of residency. Did your doctor have as much experience or more? My surgery is exactly a week out 😅
Simply put...you are beautiful. Full stop.
I'm glad things are going so well. Are you able to shift your lower jaw back and forth? I'm thinking of how one relieves presure in the ear when flying.
Yes 😁
Do you think your chin is looking small than it was 😮?????
Hi, I'm going to have surgery very soon. Could you please tell me if you can breath throug your nose when the face is so swollen? Is the pain very strong or you can cancel it with painkiller?
Really great video.
Thank you Jon! 😁
You didnt really mention how bad the pain was 1-10?
You kind of remind me of deb from dexter. Very beautiful!! You’re teeth look great
🤗🤗
I’m one week post op I’m in so much pain… I regret getting this surgery. I had double jaw surgery
Really?! I managed my pain with the prescribed medication the first couple of days, and then just Panadol and ibuprofen during the day for probably another week and a half. Have you talked to your surgeon? You might need to adjust your pain meds. I hope you start feeling better soon ❤️
Hang in there but definitely contact your surgeon asap. You shouldn’t be in pain 🙏
@@MoreKait thank you I spoke to the on call he didn’t care. I have to wait till tomorrow.. i can’t even speak.
@@MoreKait I am in the morning thank you
Hey!! R u satisfy with ur results or not?
The pain and swelling is unbearable when did the pain stop for you?
I'm facing such problems 😢 what i do😢
Did the numbness ever fully subside?
Who was your surgeon
Didn't you need to take retainers after taking braches off? Please reply 😃
Yes! I wear them at night for the next 1.5 to 2 years.
How many mm did they move your jaws? 💗
Hi am planning to do it .. can you tell me how long it took you to get back to work after the surgery?? Will it look weired going to work .. at what days will everything looks normal ..
Well I’m a bit of a weird situation because I work for myself and work from home. But I think they generally say 2-3 weeks before you’re back to work. Yes, I looked weird for several months but I just accepted it was part of the process. Probably 3 months post op I started to look mostly normal 😅
@@MoreKait thanks fr the reply .. I am getting some courage after watching your videos .. thanks a lot ..have a great day .
Awesome!
🤗🤗
You look great
❤️❤️
Did you have to pay for the surgery
Yes
Some covered by insurance but about 10k out of pocket
Lol your cats
Always going crazy 😅
@@MoreKait well could be worse you can have my two crazy beagles lol
🎉🎉🎉
😁😁
Are you happy with your nose after surgery? I know it changes
Yes 🤗 Didn’t have an issue with it appearance wise before but can breathe so much clearer now!
Amazing!
🤗🤗
I clicked this shit so fast
A years is long time u go to work and hang out😂😂 can go out looking like watermelon
🙂👍☕
🤗🤗
you are too beautiful, that's my problem with you.
You look like a completely different person. Both of you are stunningly beautiful, but you are not related. The new you looks movie-starish.
Woo-hoo !
😁😁
You looked better before the operation 1000% your face was more symmetric. Why did you go through all this for nothing? Your face looks paralized on one side, like those that got the unspeakable.
Thank you for your kind words 😂 It was a non-cosmetic procedure and my jaw was literally crooked so I beg to differ that it looked more symmetrical before.
Hi, I am having a consultation with my surgeon in a few days, may I ask which health insurance are you with? I'm browsing around and I don't find anything that will cover jaw surgery?. Thanks in advance. Alice 😊
