Jaw Surgery: Orthognathic Maxillary Surgery

Comments: A documentary of pictures of my Orthognathic Jaw Surgery completed on June 10, 2008 to correct my overbite. The surgery was done in 5 hours at the Ohio State Medical Center by Dr.Larson and his staff of doctors. I could not eat food for 6 weeks and was on a liquid diet. If you have any further questions about this surgery or if you are planning to have it and want advice feel free to e-mail me at the address provided at the end of the video. The Procedure: -Broke both my Upper and Lower Jaws -Put in Titanium Metal "L" Shaped Plates to hold my jaws in place -Inserted screws through holes in my cheeks that they created to hold my jaw in place -Put in a retainer that stays in for 8 weeks after surgery and goes through the gums to make the body learn about the new mouth placement and recover correctly. This apparatus must be surgically removed in a small operation only requiring sedation for a few minutes. -Adjusted the distance between my nose and upper lip arch for maximum results All of this was done to correct an overbite that I genetically received that could not be fully remedied through Orthodontic treatment and to prevent future consequences such as TMJ, Sleep Apnea, and many more... -The Song is Called Kiss Me,I'm Shitfaced by Dropkick Murphys Thanks for Watching
