lol when i found out i didn’t need surgery and my case could just be fixed with braces i cried (of joy)... so awkward to explain to the orthodontist 😅😅

I no longer have braces but I’m still loving these videos

I had the surgery to correct an underbite that could not be corrected with braces. I had my maxillary bone cut and moved forward and my mandible rotated back to one side due to one side being longer than the other. It was major surgery that lasted about 12 hours, 6 weeks with my teeth wired shut. It wasn't painful due to them cutting the nerves around the maxillary bone. I'm very, very grateful that they have surgeons that can do this surgery, it changed my life. Very, happy with the outcome!

My underbite was corrected with a mentoplate. An oral- surgeon puts it under the roots of your front bottom teeth and two hooks under your lower canines are showing. That is where I put my elastics and it worked great for me. I got the mentoplate out 4 weeks ago and it was the easiest surgery that I could think of. The second I walked out of the office I could eat normally. The stiches didn't bother me at all

My moderate underbite was recently 100% corrected with braces and rubber bands, I'm so grateful for my orthodontist. I was initially told I'd need surgery, but after getting a second opinion from my current ortho, I now have a "positive bite." My face shape has visibly changed.

Please do a jaw surgery video!!!
I'm 6 months post op from Bi-max surgery to treat a class 2 malocclusion but still love watching videos about it 😊

[carlamenes]

Yes I would like to see a video about the jaw surgery you mentioned in this video to correct certain bites 👍

[ashleigh]

Went in for my first adjustment since this pandemic! My ortho put some bends in my wires and said my treatment is going great!!! He’s also pleased with how wide my arches have moved without any appliance ☺️

You should do a video covers a general timeline of phases during a braces treatment. I think it’s helpful to know where I am in the 3-year process 🤗

I would love to see a separate orthognathic surgery explanation video since I'm going to have that done in the future! Thanks for the informative videos you put out here on YouTube.

[chanritasrey]

Jaw surgery videos, please! I’m seeing my oral surgeon in two days. I will know more detail about my case then. But I still want to see more videos about jaw surgery till the day I actually have the surgery. So please!!

[JaceTL]

Would love to see a video on orthognathic surgery. Great video as always!

[cian]

Greg what happens if I were to die with braces on? Would they be removed by my orthodontist from my dead body or who would take them off? if they are taken off at all!

[alinagomez]

I really want to get my surgery already😭

[mksmukbangs]

I’m watching these because my teeth are so bad and I’m insecure about them, I was going to get them but I moved :/. These make me want braces even more and they’re teaching me more about them, you say more than orthodontics would actually tell you! I heard they’re expensive in America?.. in the UK they’re free until you’re 18 and under I’m sure!

[dadpool]

this is why i LOVE youtube, sharing experiences, learning and teaching ... great content ez sub!!

[sniperight]

I'm in the third group where I require orthognathic surgery (as I have both crossbite and an underbite) in conjunction with braces. I was supposed to have gotten my surgery in a couple's month after my second visit with the oral surgeon but both the visit and surgery had to be postponed due to the pandemic. I'm just anxious to get my surgery done and the recovery afterwards

[bethanndryden]

I had orthognathic surgery back in October to correct my open bite. I would be interested in hearing more about orthognathic surgery.

[kwilkins]

Would definitely like to see a video regarding jaw surgery for adults. Almost 40, and at the stage that my Orthodontist wants to try elastic for about a year. If that doesn’t work then may have to try the surgical route.

[kathrynbankart]

Please do the underbite corrective surgery video. :)
