Reasons

I’d been having headaches, stress and pain in my jaws, difficulty chewing, popping and crunching noises in my ear when I talk, sing or eat. If I get hungry I’ll start sneezing and eventually throw up. I thought I was hypoglycemic but my doctor said it was acid being overproduced in my stomach due to digestion problems from not chewing my food. I have never been able to properly chew food. I chewed with the right side teeth for most of my adult life. The left side doesn't rotate well and at some point I just didn't really use that side. When I got braces, they removed a bridge I've had since I was a teen. Now there is just a blank space where the bridge was and I am toothless! That was my go-to side for chewing and without the tooth I'm forced to chew on the left. It feels wrong. I don't really have an issue cosmetically. My chin is definitely short and it makes my neck/jowels (jowels is a horrible word) scrunch up. This is not why anyone should do the surgery in my opinion. I have a lisp that I've controlled over the years. My tongue thrust is pretty bad. TMJ is the painful stuff. The discs that rotate my jaw bones have moved out of their spot. That kind of sums up why I want to go through all this to close my teeth! Here is my X-Ray. You can see where the bridge was , but it's gone now.
