I've given up on surgery for now. 5 years of research and flying around the world for consults, all for nothing.
Everything in my life is going well, so why risk jaw surgery? some vain attempt at improving my social status in an easy, quantifiable way?
I see the average person out in public walking around with their normally formed jaws and teeth and I envy it. I need to accept that an aesthetic face is something I may never have. Can I be happy having small backward slanty jaws? Can I handle aging terribly once my soft tissue sags and theres no jaw there to support it?
Im otherwise super healthy, have a good job, great family, great girlfriend. Why are my deformed jaws all i think about?
Maybe one day I will have sleep apnea and need jaw surgery, but for now, im going to have Invisalign and hope it improves my aesthetic a little.
f**k its really disturbing my peace.
thanks for listening.
