the adventures of jaw surgery

This blog is meant to record my long and treacherous path to a perfectly functioning smile. When I learned that I would have to have my jaw broken, I scoured the internet for stories of others who had already undergone the same thing. To my surprise, there weren't many complete descriptions of the whole process. Hopefully, this will provide people in similar situations with details, facts, and stories that will maybe help them face their own surgery. Mostly, though, this is a way for me to express, vent, and entertain myself for the duration of this ordeal. Thanks for reading!

Photos of My Face

I'm a sucker for before and after's...isn't everybody? I figure I should post some pictures of me now so when everything is said and done the results will be that much awesome-r. These pictures will also show my problems more clearly. Please note that my mouth in all of these is completely shut. I don't know how many times an orhodontist/ortho-barbie-helper/other random mouth person has asked me if I'm shutting completely in the last few months. No shit! If I could close my mouth all the way, I wouldn't be in this situation.

Mmm... sexyness. Notice the ridges on my bottom front teeth...these mean that my teeth have never come together. Normally they are ground flat from friction with the top teeth.

And finally, if I was Lil' John, this would be my grill face
