Before I get started, I'm only having the lower jaw adjusted and I've had braces for two years and three months. I knew from day one braces alone wouldn't fix my teeth or my bite and that surgery was going to happen- it was just a matter of when. I got braces because I was self conscious of my smile and not confident. Plus my younger sister and mothers had just finished their braces treatment and I saw how much happier it made them.
I had to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed too since I have such a little jaw as part of braces treatment. I swelled up pretty bad but other than a normal experience.

I am also missing my left incisor tooth- there is no bone there at all so the only option to fix that is an implant which will happen eventually at a later day since they are expensive and I started wearing a false tooth on my braces. I've been told by the orthodontist that the gap will come in handy when I'm wired shut.

Basically that is my journey up until the jaw surgery, Let's get this party started.
