Well, this is what I've been waiting for! On Monday I finally got my braces taken off. All I can say is "WOW!" All along I knew that I was going to be pleased with the results, but I still can't believe what a difference my surgery and orthodontic work has made! I could not be happier, and to anyone who might be considering orthognathic surgery, all I can say is "Go for it!" It wasn't always easy, but the end product is definitely worth everything that I went through over the past year and a half.
Today I picked up my retainers from the orthodontist, and for right now I have to wear them all the time.
Here is the before and after smile :)
