![What is Orthognathic Surgery? [Jaw Surgery with Braces Explained]](/img/n.gif)
I have my double jaw and chin surgery in two days... As a mixed race BIPOC person I'm not seeing too many videos of non-white people so I'm grateful to have found your videos just in time before my surgery! I have an underbite like yours, all tilted, bottom jaw overgrown more on one side, missing top n bottom teeth, bottom baby teeth (still at 27 years old & they're hanging on by a THREAD) etc. I'm also going to need permanent implants to replace my baby teeth and fill in my missing teeth. I'm going to watch the rest of your videos but I found you through one of your shorts first talking about 1 year post op and you look AMAZING so I'm excited to watch your journey and hope it gives me comfort and help my mental preparation for this because I am NERVOUS af. Thank you
Such a relatable video. I was scheduled for my surgery early in the pandemic, literally days after the lockdown. I took it as a sign that "God made me like this and I shouldn't change it," but i find myself wrestling w. thoughts like the fear of the surgery itself & the fact that idk how i'll look post surgery vs. the possibility of FINALLY having a smile that I'm happy & proud of. I have a gap and it's literally one of my biggest insecurities. well, i'll be watching & praying for you & your experience !
Gaps are beautiful! I use to have one so I do understand the desire to close it! Thank you so much for watching this video as well. I just posted a new one talking about where I am in my journey. Have you had the surgery or are you still debating?
Seeing someone else with an underbite is very warming; It's not often you see us Crimson Chins walking around, so it's definitely a refresher stumbling upon one. I am getting my surgery on March 17th and I am constantly thinking about how I would look post-op. I am happy you're bringing us on your journey and I wish you nothing but the best.
Hahaha at Crimson chin! But honestly I am interested to see what I will look like too 😩! Thank you for your well wishes!
I’m starting my journey now too. I’m seeing my surgeon next month to fix the surgery date, I’m so stressed but excited at the same time 😅
Omggg I wish you luck!! Keep me posted on when your surgery actually happens
I am starting my jaw journey too. It is nice to watch someone who has a lot of the same things going on with their jaw like me. I have had a lot of tmj pain too and I have had surgery done to help with it. I am definitely nervous for the rest of my journey. I was watching a lot of other people’s experiences here on TH-cam, but they made me more nervous and I kind had to stop watching them for my own sake lol. (everyone’s experience is different, but I want to remain optimistic and kick negativity to the curb because this surgery is very necessary for me) But I am glad I saw your video! I wish you and everyone on their journey the best of luck and a good recovery!
Omgggg me too! It actually gives me anxiety thinking about the fact that I won’t be able to breathe after. Thank you so much!
Hi Kyyah,
I also have an underbite/open bite & I was putting it off for years because I couldn’t afford braces & I had a little bit of anxiety. Now that I’m in a better place financially, I decided to go through with the process of getting surgical braces. I actually just had my consultation appointment with an ortho surgeon & I was told that sometime next year, I’d be getting the double jaw surgery.
Thank you for sharing your story! It’s definitely motivating to know that there are others who are in the same boat.
hi!
I feel like there are so many of us! All the videos i have seen so far have helped me get the courage and also there are so many new videos going up everyday! Keep me posted on your journey :)
I agree! I’ll definitely keep you posted. Looking forward to hearing more about your journey!
I just got mine done this week, it’s been a rough recovery but I know it’ll be worth it! I’m posting my journey here on TH-cam too! Good luck!!
Omg wow wishing you a speedy recovery!
I'm on my 4 week recovery so painfull 😭
@@jasmineportillo4147 this all makes me so nervous 😭 what are the doctors giving you to alleviate the pain? On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is it?
@@kyyahabdularchives thank you, same to you!
@@jasmineportillo4147 omg I thought things would be better then 😭, I hope things get better!
I've been waiting for my surgery since April 2019, and I have finally started my braces treatment to get ready for surgery. Corona pushed back my treatment by like 6 months, which makes me sad. I should be ready for surgery in 6-7 months which is exciting. I have to worry about the cost of the surgery, hopefully, I still have insurance by the time I can meet my surgeon again. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey:))
Omg! Covid has literally ruined so many things. I hope you get the insurance bit sorted out. We will be in recovery around the same time so stay in touch!
Lmaoo the African parents commentary was very accurate and I’m getting the same surgery in about a year and braces on in a few days! Super nervous but I’m sure your journey will be super smooth!
Yess ooo, my mom really should have listened way back when. And Omg!! I cannot wait to hear about your journey! You have yo have the braces on for a while! Im praying for a smooth journey
@@kyyahabdularchives I was told I needed braces as a kid and some sort of device to hold my jaw in place at night and my parents thought it was the dentist trying to make extra money 😂 here we are now, waiting to do the surgery
@@ele4428 L OOOOO FREAKING L!! Why are parents like this. See now, surgery is triple the cost of braces and head gear
I'm actually getting double jaw surgery aswell. I'm starting to get a little nervous now as my surgery is on the 7th of June this year and although my under bite isn't the worst it something I've always been highly conscious of it. I am hopefully planning on documenting my recovery for others as that's something that really helped me make the decision. You can build an amazing support network through sharing experiences to help others make this important decision. Good luck on your journey chica 🤞it all goes well.
Hiiii! Checking in on you. How has your journey been? My surgery was moved and I should be getting it this December. I have noticed that sharing my story on TH-cam makes me feel like so many people understand what I am going through and the mental process you have to go through to even get a consultation and then START.
I'm day 2 of my Invisalign with an underbite, have known forever that I needed this surgery, and my ortho is confident I can get my double jaw surgery this Nov/Dec 2021. I'm also in SoCal! But my doctor is up here in LA. Definitely want to track your journey!
OMG that timeline is so similar to mine and the fact that you are in LA! I will def keep making videos on my progress!
I wish you the very best on this life changing journey! My bite is almost the same as yours! I’ve been needing this surgery my WHOLE life! But as I’ve gotten older it’s gotten worse. I’ve been in braces for 2 years and that hasn’t completely fixed my underbite. My jaw clicks when I chew. My face is swollen, etc. I’m hoping to get this surgery soon but my orthodontist hasn’t referred me yet.
Wow I completely relate to this and thank you for your well wishes. I was suppose to have the surgery in September but my Invisalign took longer than expected. Now I am hoping to get the surgery during the holidays.
i will be starting my journey the 29th of August, thanks for the informative video :)
thank you for watching! How is your journey so far
Oh nooo! Im so excited for your journey though!!
🥰
i’m excited to watch your journey unfold! i’m wondering if you ever brought up to your surgeon the potential changes in appearance and what they can predict? i’ve done a lot of research because i also have an underbite and have read of patients who noticed their nose changing from moving the upper jaw forward. noses becoming shorter and wider, particularly in ethnic patients.
OMG okay so I also have been looking into this and its so true!! Ive seen so many peoples noses become more pointy. I havent asked him but I have a Pre-Surgical checkin with him next week so I am going to ask him.
This video was informative. Wishing you a smooth process.
Thank you!!
I'm starting my journey now too. I have braces being fitted in 2 weeks, wisdom teeth removal scheduled and then surgery. Looks like we are on the same path. 😍I'm in the UK so it will be interesting to follow you and see how are treatment is simular/different.
Wow it really does seem like we are on the same path. So crazy! Are you going to document your journey?
@@kyyahabdularchives I'm not sure. I'm crazily insecure about my appearance right now. Plus I don't seem to have the same right persona on camera like you. I might do I'm documenting it on film for my own journey so I might upload some when I get more confident. It's crazy a grown woman 😂I wish you the very best with your journey
@@gemmaj1091 i totally get this! I use to be really insecure about my underbite but forced myself to love it but now that its going away, im thinking about the reasons I didnt like it in the first place. We are feel this way sometimes. Thank you and I also wish you the best 💕 hopefully youll follow me on my journey! Ill be looking for your comments lol
Heyy 👋🏾 I’m also in the UK, I’m planning on getting double jaw surgery. I’ve had metal braces for 6months now. Which doctor are you using if you don’t mind me asking and the quotation? Thanks x
@@chika7086 are your braces part of your journey? My braces were fitted by the my team at the hospital. I have a team of people who support the jaw process. It's available on the NHS if your bite is grade 3 or above. Under that you have to pay out of pocket or private insurance. Mine is covered. My doctor is Dr Moody who works out of London, Sussex and Hampshire. If you feel you really need surgery and not just braces from the orthodontist you should get yourself referred for a consultation and they will tell you of the surgery is right for you and any costs to yourself. The consultant on the NHS is free then you choose to either pay private or go with the NHS doctor they assign to you.
Can I ask how you got insurance to cover the surgery? I've read that insurance won't cover orthognathic surgery unless it's deemed 'medically necessary'. I have pain, clicking, tension headaches, dry mouth and some minor speech issues etc. but not sure if this would be covered!
I’m hoping to get double jaw surgery next year. I live in Canada and it will cost me around $9k CND which is around $7k usd. It’s been a long and complicated journey. Would love to chat with you about it sometime.
I echo the long and complicated. I feel the same way. Dm me on Ig!
i’m 15 and i have an underbite . I’ll have to get that surgery in 3 years
I wish I got this surgery when I was younger! I wish you the best on your journey!
I’m planing on getting double jaw surgery. They want to pull four teeth before braces, don’t know about that. Should get braces in October.
Yeah that happened to me. My 2nd molars on top were too erupted so I had to have them pulled. This journey is def tough.
I've gotten braces four months now... I've been told to wear it for 6 months before surgery...i have class 3 underbite... I'm so nervous n anxious
Ahhh im planning for jaw surgery in september !!! GIRL I AM TERRIFIED
Omg!!! Me too! 😭😭 its so scary to think about
DONT MIND DEM 😂😂😂❤❤
I’ve had my braces on for a year a half, I was supposed to get my surgery summer 2020 but with covid I have to wait at least another year before I can get my surgery (bcz of the backlog) 😭 I guess I’ll have braces on for double the amount of time I was supposed to. I have an open bite too and underbite
That is actually so annoying, this dang COVID! Hopefully your surgery is scheduled soon 😩😩
How do braces feel as well? Do you cut your tongue on the wires? Im trying to prepare myself lol
@@kyyahabdularchives I didn’t cut my tongue on the wire but I cut the insides of cheeks but the orthodontist did provide me with a lot of wax to put on the brackets when that happens (the wax helps A LOT) but I found that after the first few weeks it no longer scratched my cheeks. Make sure that if you feel a wire sticking out that you go back so they can cut it.It hurts for a few days when they change your wire but then it’s fine. And I suggest a water pick because I found that flossing has become more difficult.
@@ele4428 thid is beautiful advice! Thank you!
omg i’m also getting my surgery in september !!
omggg how did your surgery go?? Mine was actually pushed out
@@kyyahabdularchives im almost 7 weeks post op now and i’m feeling really great my surgery went so well !! i’m sorry yours got pushed out, it’s really worth the wait
@@gracecarolinem omg I am so happy for you! I have my check up with my surgeon tomorrow so I am looking forward to him promising december!
I have an underbite but I’m not sure if I need surgery
Your general dentist should be able to refer you to an orthodontist and advise!
I just started my process too! Got my braces on a couple days ago and they hurt so much and I look like a child at 28 y.o 🤦🏾♀️
Omg! How long do you have braces for? And when is your surgery?? I am not looking forward to these braces
I’m not sure how long I have to wear the braces for. I’m really hoping the entire process is about a year for me but I’ll have a better idea at my first adjustment appointment (my teeth are relatively straight, just misaligned). And don’t have surgery date yet either! I won’t be able to set a date until 4 months prior to the completion of the first round of braces. You’re lucky that you only have to put the braces on for the surgery itself! Which insurance do you have?
@@neeshabey9692 ahhhh okay! Omg wow i am hoping it won't be longer than a year for you either. So since I already had Invisalign to make my teeth straight they re-opened my case and decided to use that to get my teeth in position for surgery. I have AETNA medical and Guardian Dental but my orthodontics isnt covered I have to pay for it out of pocket an di wont know the cost until after they get my Invisalign trays made
@@neeshabey9692 from your photo it doesnt even look like you have an underbite!
@@kyyahabdularchives Omg completely forgot to reply. My underbite isn’t the worst case but definitely noticeable to me at least lol and It requires surgical correction. I recently got a surgery date for 12/1…it was originally supposed to be around September-ish but everything is delayed due to COVID. How’s your journey coming along?
I’m having my surgery May 5th 2021 😰
omg how do you feel? Are you nervous?
