Prior to having the surgery — back when I was making the decision to have the surgery — you would not believe the intense headaches I would get because it's not fitting right. So the eating part, you couldn't bite into hard things because it'd make your jaws hurt. So, I went to my orthodontist, and he referred me here, and from that point on, we went through some processes and steps, and I will say this, I am so happy that I had this surgery. This surgery has been life-changing for me. I am way more self-confident. I am not afraid to smile; I'm not afraid to show my teeth. I'm not afraid anymore, so it changed my whole life.--Rachell
