I am finally 18 and have just finished college.
I am given the same options again.
Mr S tells me with the jaw operation my jaws will not be the only thing which will change; my facial appearance will change too.
I will have "less chin and more cheeks" as he put it.
I don't think my jaw has grown any bigger, maybe slightly but I can't tell.
I agree to the treatment as it's better than just keeping the teeth as they are now.
It's much better to have straight teeth then wonky ones!
I've recently had my braces removed (May 2009) and now have an Essix retainer for my bottom jaw (to wear at night) and an Hawley retainer for my top jaw with false tooth attached (to wear during the day).
Starting in Aug/Sept 2004 I had Damon type 2 brackets, then In-ovation brackets (replaced March and May 2006) and seven In-ovation brackets without clips (with elastic ligatures).
Total time in braces = 4 years and 8 months!
NB: All treatment is through the NHS apart from implant work done by Mr Ziff which is private.
