This explains so much of my life good to know, im getting jaw surgery soon
I wish you luck!
@@kelseysmith9050 thank you 💕💕
@@maliaecho Always! 💕
@ici everyone is different. But mine costs more than a brand new car
@ici mine will cost more than 50000, idk the exact cost
The doctors demeanor is so calming he relaxed me and made me trust him and I’ve only ever seen this video... I wish I lived close so I could go to a consultation with him
He’s an amazing Dr. and if you can I would
He's done some of my cleft surgeries. I've had a lot of surgeons and he has been the absolute best surgeon I've had. I only trust him with doing my surgeries. I have really bad anxiety and ptsd and I wouldn't want anyone else doing my surgeries. I trust him and only feel safe with him doing my surgeries.
I thought chewing with only back teeth was normal. Hope can fix this soon.
Yes it is normal, but initially people use their front teeth to bite into things, and with my overbite, it was hard to do that normally, but thank you! He did fix it for me!
@@kelseysmith9050 how hard is it actually? I bite with my front teeth too. And I'm sure I have overbite because my side profile, my lower jaw look really short behind. I have crooked teeth too.
@@kelseysmith9050 did u get surgery bc I have a little overbite and I have Invisalign idk if I have to get surgery they never said anything
@@ssatriyaa it definitely was hard to use my front teeth to help chew, since my overbite didn’t let my bottom teeth come close to my top teeth
@@SlasherYT-kc3wg Yes, I’ve had two jaw surgeries now..I’m the girl in the video 😄 My first surgery was to have it done..and my second surgery, I had to get the hardware taken out of my right side since my right side was rejecting the hardware
I’m getting jaw surgery in about a year and this explains everything
I am recovery right now from upper and lower jaw surgery. I had a overtime and a open bite cant wait till all the swelling goes down to see my results. I felt the same way as this girl.
Same here I did the surgery 2 weeks ago the liquid diet is really hard to handle
@@tifani1345 i know right, tomorrow markes week 1 for me. I started blending up soups that have paptatos and cheese and veggies. Its helped me alot. How is you pain on week 2?
Trevor Cromwell the pain isn’t as bad honestly , but Idk if it’s my pain tolerance and my face isn’t as swollen but there is still lots of discomfort. Getting tired of soups but I’m trying to stay motivated. Glad we’re in this together hby Hru?
@@tifani1345 same glad we ain't alone in all this, its hard to tell i have alot of numbness and swelling so can't feel to much yet, just discomfort. I get my bands off on Monday, but in already sick of the liquid diet too. But me and you both know it will all me worth it when its over with! :)
Trevor Cromwell that’s so true it will be worth it 😂😂😂atleast we’ll be off the liquid diet by thanksgiving :)
THIS IS EXACTLY ME I NEED SURGERY
I got my surgery Monday May 18th, and it’s very annoying not being able to talk😂. To me the pain is very low.
@@ayannawilliams2194 Facts it's never about the pain😂
Go for it if you can! I don't regret getting mine one bit
Please tell me how much the surgery cost?
@@ayannawilliams2194 update??
I need it but im really scared
Kaan Bosak me to fn terrified
It can be scary, but if it's something you need, you won't regret it in the end! Trust me :)
Just do it if you can afford it if you can’t get a job so you can I’m starting the process I know how much this is gonna help me
Getting it in a month!
Daddy Butter Unboxings ..good luck ... I’m sure you will be fine the hard part is probably mental with ya at this point .. will you let me know how or what’s it’s like paint me a picture if ya can .. I’m really wanting to get started but money and time and fear are keeping me away
this is exactly me.
Omg yesss I’ve been trying to get my surgery for about 2 years now and for one reason or another it just doesn’t happen. In my case my upper jaw is to small for my bottom.😔
I have overbite too. Sadly in Malaysia I could'nt find clinic/hospital with jaw surgery.i only use braces now
@Xin Tong Lai where? Can you please suggest? I've went to 7 private clinic and they never mention jaw surgery. But my orthodontist do agree I have overbite and I hate it so much :v
@Xin Tong Lai melaka
@Xin Tong Lai any clinic you know? Sometimes when I'm on holiday I do live in Selangor
I had this too, wasn’t asleep, the worst pain I’ve ever experienced
i have a underbite. i go to the orthodontist on the 23 of this month. i am beyond scared. i might have to get jaw surgery and then get braces. i’m terrified!
if i were you i would get it, to me having an overbite makes me way less confident in public places
KEXNO _27 i’m not confident especially with my underbite. i went to the orthodontist and they said i need braces. so i’m getting them soon. hopefully they can make me confident in my smile while having braces and then them taking them off.
KEXNO _27 and i’m not getting jaw surgery just braces! so that’s nice.
Isn’t it first braces and when you’re at the last few months of the braces, then the surgery? Maybe it’s in the Netherlands different
tiffanykip haha i said that 2 months ago! i went to the orthodontist and they said i just need braces and that will help fix everything! i have to get an expander first tho!
She looks great
Thank youuu!!!
So I need braces but I have two choices I can either pull some adult teeth and have braces for a pretty long time or get jaw surgery to move my bottom jaw forward and have braces for less time. I don’t know what to do and I think my parents are leading in the direction of getting my teeth pulled. I just don’t know what I should do. I don’t have any pain in my jaw right now but I do have trouble pronouncing some words. I also heard that jaw surgery helps with appearance. Anyone have any advice ??
Mia Tonucci at a certain point your teeth problems become a medical or skeletal problem rather than just dental or cosmetic. id go for the surgery because it actually fixes the problem, it doesnt just cover it up
I would definitely go for the surgery, it fixes pretty much everything for a long-term time.. pronunciation, appearance, eating, all of that good stuff.. it's a painful recovery, but I don't regret it one bit! You should consider
Mia Tonucci my orthodontist said that pulling out adult teeth can make your face change (there was a study done on twins that show it is very possible that it will give your face a sunken in appearance compared to expanding the jaw which gave the jaw definition/space ). You should expand your mouth to fit your teeth instead of removing teeth to fit your mouth. I’m having an upper jaw expansion surgery next month and a lower jaw surgery in a years time to do so. The lower jaw surgery brings your jaw forward to give the chin a sort of S shaped appearance (the ideal chin). It also gives you a stronger jaw line. Maybe ask if a SARPE surgery would benefit you?
Same options for me but I chose Jaw surgery less painful
Yo pulling your adult teeth will result in you getting dental implants. Get the surgery.
I'm 34 and no dentist has ever mentioned it to me about my overbite it's taken me a bit of luck to find out there is a cure for why I get sleep apnea etc and breathing problems yesterday I applied to get jaw surgery with the NHS, it's a long wait but goodluck me getting excepted 🙏
I’m getting top jaw surgery on September 6 😎
Does insurance cover the surgery?
I think only certain kinds do, my insurance covered my surgery!
Kelsey Smith what insurance do you have?
@@kelseysmith9050 I have Anthem Blue-cross of CA
Hi can i ask how much it cost?
15k - 20k
@@esperanzarodriguez1099 thankyou miss esperanza
@@ronnelpineda8384 mines is 35k
Do you have any problem after the surgery?
I got double jaw surgery a while ago (on my 5th week now) and there wasn’t any huge problems. The only thing that “annoyed” me was the dieting after since you have to be on a super soft/liquid diet. however, nourish milk is what kept my calories high and body filled. It’s only time that people may struggle with. Pain wasn’t bad at all since most oral surgeons prescribe high painkillers long enough till the pain is eased!
I did have a problem after the surgery..I had to get my right side hardware taken out since it was rejecting the hardware..but all is good now!
I want this but my mother doesn’t have the money to get this for me
aww what about insurance
Awww, I understand :( mine too
How much cost
Did it hurt ?
I’m 17 can i get this surgery?
I went to the orthodontist today and he took out my plate. He showed me my x-rays and he said I had a massive severe overbite. He said that until I get my next plate in I’ll need to put my bottom jaw over my top jaw and it hurts my jaw muscles and top teeth badly. If I don’t do this there’s a chance ill definitely need jaw surgery..I’ve been watching videos of it, but it’s really scaring me..
How much it cost to do the surgery
Cost will depend on your insurance which our office can help you determine. Please call (304) 388-2950 or 1-800-348-6099.
Wait what?? 1:45
What do you mean?
SP FromNY914 the bone on the right scan
@@janelera7515 ikr
@@janelera7515 that's not a bone, they're screws to secure the bones after the the surgery.
Anyone have underbite here?
Me! Im getting braces soon and surgery in 2022 most likely! I don’t really live the idea but I know it will help. Just scared for recovery😭
Aye I was about to comment that. I'm getting it in a month
Me! I’ve had braces for 14 months and getting top jaw surgery in less than two weeks.
Could i get surgery at 15??
I think you can get special braces for it that makes your jaw grow more forwards, my sister had this. Because your jaw will grow/move till you’re 18 years old.
@@elorapons4752 hey, how was it? Is your face still swelled? Also, how many appointments did you go to before your jaw surgery
I’m scared now
Not to worry about this.
Cost ?
I'm not sure of the cost, but my insurance covered the surgery
@@kelseysmith9050 like an estimation , around how much
100000000 euros
20,000 thousand dollars without insurance
But even before sugery you're pretty
Thank you so much!!!
