BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga: January 2012
http://jawsurgerysaga.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga. Thursday, January 26, 2012. Just saw my surgeon for my 4 week checkup and everything looks good. My range of motion is now 40 mm and he said that's right on track and maybe a little better than most (he was probably just being nice, but I'll take it! The BEST news, however, is that he made an appointment to remove my splint in 2 weeks. Yippee! After the splint is removed I will go straight from his office to my orthodontist to have a new continuous wire made for my upper teeth.

Beth's Lower Jaw Surgery. Braced up since September 2011. I had a mandibular sagittal split osteotomy on the 29th November, 2013. Braces coming off on the 8th April 2014! Went and saw both my orthodontist and my surgeon last week. I saw the ortho first and he asked my how I felt about my teeth. I told him I was very happy and he said 'well, if we did anything more it would just be tinkering so I think its time to get them off'! SO IM GETTING MY BRACES OFF ON THE 8TH OF APRIL! BEST NEWS. EVER. You must fe...

BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga: December 2011
http://jawsurgerysaga.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga. Saturday, December 31, 2011. I slept great again last night. I still can't believe how good I feel compared to what I was expecting. My surgeon called me this morning to see if I needed my nose cleaned out again. It's Saturday. His office is closed. How awesome is it that he called to check on me on a Saturday and offered to come in just for me? The back part of my palate is swollen and mostly numb and it feels like I need to constantly swallow. Every time I swallow the b...

BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga. Friday, February 10, 2012. Day 43 / Out Damn Splint! Yesterday was a joyous occasion - my splint came out! Pre-surgery pic for comparison. On the jaw surgery recovery front, feeling in my upper teeth started coming back this week. My surgeon said it's unusual to get feeling back so soon and that I must be a fast healer. Yay me!

Braceface: The Sequel (a jaw surgery and braces blog): May 2015
http://bracefacethesequel.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Braceface: The Sequel (a jaw surgery and braces blog). Monday, May 18, 2015. Still numb after all these years. My surgery was on October 16th, 2012. It has been 2 years and 7 months. I don't think about the drama of surgery often (it's been replaced by child birth! Though I still can't help but admire my bite every time I am in front of a mirror. To those who are going through this, I know you can relate! Having had an ugly bite for most of your life sticks with you! The status of my face:. Is known as l...

Braces and Wrinkles: 2 weeks away!
http://bracesandwrinkles.blogspot.com/2012/11/2-weeks-away.html
The two don't really belong together, but here I am anyway with braces in my mid-40's! Thursday, November 22, 2012. It’s been a huge gap in updates on the blog, but mostly because there’s been nothing exciting to report…until now! I’m officially reaching the end of the braces road and today marks 2 weeks until I get them off! Cue the Hallelujah Chorus! Here are a couple of pictures showing the difference in two years – different smile, a few less pounds, more wrinkles and gray hair…. Posted by VW Family.

Braces and Wrinkles: a little taste of freedom
http://bracesandwrinkles.blogspot.com/2011/12/little-taste-of-freedom.html
The two don't really belong together, but here I am anyway with braces in my mid-40's! Wednesday, December 7, 2011. A little taste of freedom. I’m now 6 weeks post-op and went for my follow-up appointment on Monday with my surgeon, Dr. O. We snapped a picture – she’s a little, teeny thing, but she’s a firecracker! All I know is that I’m grateful she can do some pretty amazing handiwork when it comes to mini power tools in my mouth. This was the appointment where I got my splint removed, hooray! I couldnt...

Braces and Wrinkles: 2 days until splint freedom
http://bracesandwrinkles.blogspot.com/2011/12/2-days-until-splint-freedom.html
The two don't really belong together, but here I am anyway with braces in my mid-40's! Saturday, December 3, 2011. 2 days until splint freedom. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that while I’ll be getting this nasty splint out on Monday, it’ll only be a temporary reprieve. I’ll be splint-free for less than 24 hours, but hopefully that’ll be enough to give me a feel for what it will be like to try to talk normally again. Posted by VW Family.

Braces and Wrinkles: mush, mush and more mush
http://bracesandwrinkles.blogspot.com/2013/12/mush-mush-and-more-mush.html
The two don't really belong together, but here I am anyway with braces in my mid-40's! Wednesday, December 4, 2013. Mush, mush and more mush. I'm grateful to have mush! Anything beats being wired shut and having a liquid diet.So the picture below was taken one week after surgery and the day before Thanksgiving. Fortunately for me, Thanksgiving consists of a lot of delicious mushy foods- mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, dressing and pumpkin pie (plus some cranberry sauce). Yum! In other words, I pretty mu...
