| Surgery, help
Hey, I'm a 17 yr old guy, and i have had braces for about a year now. I have to have them on for a total of about 3 years and according to my doctor i have to have surgery on my jaw in about a years time. My lower jaw sticks out to much, and they have to correct it somehow with surgery. I have heard that in jaw surgery, doctor's use screws and plates to hold the jaw in place, and that these screws and jaws are NEVER removed once they are placed into your jaw. If that is the case i absolutely do not want to have this surgery even though i guess i have to, but please, could someone give me some info on exactly how this surgery works. What do they do in moving the jaw, how is it done? Ill give more info if needed but if you guys could tell me more about the procedue id really be grateful.
