Click bait title, sorry.
So I'm going in for a consultation tomorrow to get what's called "Maxillary advancement and expansion." Basically they break my upper jaw and move it forward and outward to both make my upper and lower teeth actually hit each other when I smile, instead of the insane underbite/crossbite I have right now, and to clear/give room to my nasal passage and airway to hopefully fix my sleep apnea and other issues. It's just a consultation so I'm not worried, but I'm likely going to do the surgery if all goes well, and any kind of invasive surgery makes me a little nervous. I could die on the operating table and for what? To align my teeth a little better and sleep a little better? lol.
Anyway, just wanted to make a post and share. Any of you guys ever have surgery and how did it go?
