I Had Eight Teeth Removed
“I had jaw surgery done 4 years ago. Actually had to wear braces first (for a year or so, starting a couple of months after I turned 18). Then got 2 seperate surgeries, one for my upper jaw, and one for my lower jaw.
How did they give me that chin, you ask? By sawing into my chin bone, moving it forward, and nailing it stuck again.
I’m always surprised seeing that pic again, and the amount of metal I carry with me now (braces are gone).
The braces were there to make my teeth line up with my future jaw position. That required room to work with. So, before I got my braces, they removed 4 teeth. The ones right behind the incisors, up, down, everywhere. Also, because they weren’t quite done yet, they pulled out my wisdom teeth in one go. So yeah, that was 8 removals in one go. I did get complete anesthesia, though.” – Reddit / MrKittenMittens
