My Jaw Grew Painfully
“Through a weird freak chance of nature I ended up with a bottom jaw that grew to the left a little much and ended up being really painful as well as ugly 🙁
A lot of name calling ensued from this throughout my teens so when I was old enough/stopped growing I was finally able to begin surgery preparations. Train track braces to correct the teeth over 18 months, wisdom teeth pulled and then actual surgery to saw out bones here and there as well as plates and screws.
Very painful experience after the surgery, obviously, jaws wired shut for about 6/7 weeks wasn’t fun either. Had to drink hi fibre/energy drinks because liquidated food actually wasn’t a good idea… Chunk-less soups were also good to suck through a straw!
The end result is much better than I expected and some of the people who made fun of me didn’t say anything more after that. I’m not saying I’m a handsome stud now but I definitely feel much more confident and nowhere near as self conscious as I used to feel.
Worth it. Specially on the NHS :3” – Reddit
