Intro

I have made this blog so that anyone who wants to can keep up to date with how I'm doing with my surgery. On Feb 22nd I'm having a Bimaxillary Osteotomy which basically means they break and realign my jaw so that my teeth line up. I've been wearing a brace since June 2007 in order to straighten my teeth and then the operation will move both my top and bottom rows of teeth so that they line up. I expect ti have to take 2 weeks off from uni after the operation so that the bone can heal, the swelling can reduce and I can eat again.

After the surgery, I won't be able to eat solids for a while and I won't be able to chew anything until the bone has healed. That's what I'm least looking forward to in all of this. I'll look a little bit different as well obviously. I'll have more of chin and less or a teeth look about me hopefully. Also, my voice will be slightly different and my facial expressions will change a little bit. It shouldn't be too dramatic as the jaw is only being moved a centimetre or two but it will definitely make a difference.

Hopefully, I'll be alive enough to blog on here enough to keep it up to date with what's happening :)
