I am a 2nd year dental student about to undergo a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy to correct a large overjet - basically, my teeth don't fit together correctly. The surgery will move my lower jaw (mandible) forward so that it fits together with my upper jaw (maxilla). I have wanted to do this since high school, but now that the surgery looms large, I must admit I feel apprehensive. I will document the whole process here. Hope this might be interesting/helpful to someone else.

The second half
And now for the second arch. I was so excited to get my bottom arch banded, every step closer to being ready for surgery was beyond exciting.
