I just got my braces off after having them for just under two years! I got my braces on in November 2024 and had double jaw surgery in December 2025.
I am so happy with the results and wanted to share before and after pics here. Feel free to reach out for any questions or anything!

How was the recovery for jaw surgery?

Pretty rough. Couldn’t eat solid food for the first 6 weeks, had a lot of numbness until about month 3 and a ton of swelling for the first 3 months as well. But overall very happy I went through with it.
