Hello,
I was born with a long chin, short philtrum, and upper gums facing forward, so the symptom of my front teeth sticking out like rabbit teeth got worse. I started braces before entering middle school and had braces for 3 years, and after the braces were removed, I was fine for 12 years. Only then did I wear braces that looked similar to dentures.
The dentist who did my orthodontics said they had done everything that could be done with orthodontics, so I visited another orthodontic specialist and asked about it, and was told that the only solution was double jaw surgery because it was a problem with the jaw, not the teeth.
That's how I found out about Y Oral Surgery by chance, and after much consultation and consideration, I had double jaw + 2 types of contouring (square jaw, front jaw) surgery.
Now, about 1 month and 10 days later, I am leaving a review of my first month.
On the one-month mark, the director checked my progress, and the only thing that changed was the wafers and diet.
His pronunciation became easier as he put the wafer on and off after brushing his teeth (three times a day) and took it out on a regular basis. Before the surgery, I thought my pronunciation and voice would change if my jaw and oral structure changed, but it's the same as before the surgery. When I met my relatives on Lunar New Year's Day and told them I had surgery, they said, "I thought you couldn't speak, but you're doing well."
New Care, I used to only drink protein drinks, but now I started eating scorched rice porridge, tofu, and radish (stewed or soup). Food should be cut into small pieces or only eat foods that are soft to chew. If a pin embedded in the jaw bone breaks while chewing hard or chewy food, it can lead to a serious situation requiring reoperation.
It was difficult to open my mouth wide, so I just put it in my mouth little by little, chewed it a little, and then swallowed it right away, but I still ate a variety of things than I expected. As a base, I ate boiled scorched rice porridge, tofu, braised radish, muk, sundae filling, pollack (boneless), round fish, bulgogi (cut very finely) as side dishes, and as snacks I ate kiwi, banana, steamed sweet potato, etc.
There is a lot of food stuck between the screws (which will be removed after 3 months), but if you brush your teeth, it all comes out. You should brush your teeth immediately after eating. I paid special attention to my molars, and brushed my teeth diligently, putting toothpaste on my upper and lower teeth separately. It is difficult to develop cavities when the mouth cannot be opened wide.
To reduce swelling, I go for a walk for 30 minutes after breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and use warm compresses 3-4 times a day. (I'm getting too complacent! I need to do more.) I go to bed early, believing that the swelling will go down while I sleep. I'm sleeping about 1-2 hours more than usual. Since the surgery, I have been trying to keep my head higher than my heart without bending my face, so I stand up when I wash my hair, and when I sleep, I sleep sitting in a chair that reclines. It has gone down to the point where I can go outside without a mask, but the swelling is still like biting candy, so I need to work harder.
Seeing my appearance change day by day after the surgery made me even more proud.
Even though I have swelling, I feel fortunate that I have gained confidence and that my appearance has changed.
It's only been a month and it will take time to recover, but I'm very satisfied and happy.!!!
