Update

Just thought I'd post a quick update.... I don't have any news about the surgery since I last posted but have been reading a lot of other blogs in the meantime. Weight loss seems to be a massive thing that stands out in all of them so that should be interesting to see. As for the orthodontics - my next appoinment is on the 18th March, so hopefully I can post something then and maybe take some more photos.

This blog is more for myself and seeing how I get along during the surgical journey I am undertaking. It will also give me something to do during recovery but if you have any questions or comments please let me know :)

Have a good day!

So far....

So, so far, I have had braces on for about 3 years now meaning that I am very close to having my surgery- 3 months in fact!! 

During the time I had braces - they had to move my teeth around because they were slightly offset to one side. I had a screw put in and then each tooth moved one by one. My mouth was so gappy!! This was last year. So here are my teeth after a year....

Try to excuse the nakedness... I was getting ready to sleep! 

Introducing myself...

Hi, 

My name is Joe, in 21 and I am currently waiting to have double jaw surgery! I went to my dentist when I was about 15 because I had an underbite which was causing pain when chewing and talking. So, as you can imagine, it's been a long wait! 

In the past few months I have been reading blogs written by people and have found they they have all really helped me to prepare for the surgery and so, that's what I want to do for anyone who is thinking about going through the surgery or are waiting for it like me...
