First orthognathic surgery appointment

Hello my fellow bloggers!
So I met my ortho. surgeon the other day and although he has a morbid sense of humor he seems like a nice guy lol.

Looking from my xrays, it turns out I don't have an underbite but an edge to edge bite. But I've been jutting my lower jaw out so my teeth can meet when I eat. Looks like my insurance is going to have to cover me now!! :)

So I guess I'll say the good news first: I DONT NEED BRACES! My surgeon said if he does my upper jaw instead of my lower jaw I wouldn't need braces. Which was exciting because i hate braces!! lol. Of course he said I should get braces so it can be perfect.

The bad news: He thinks I could still be growing since most girl's jaws stop growing when they are 16 but I started growing when I turned 18. So I've got a bone scan appt made for next friday.And I might have to put my plans all on hold till I stop growing :(
