What does surgical preparation mean?
My orthodontist said she'd like to start preparing for surgery. What does that mean? I've been in treatment for a year and a half, so it'll be a little over two years before this. Does this preparation mean I'll be getting another fixed brace (I've already had two), or is it really preparation, where surgery will begin in 3-4 weeks?
(My upper jaw is too narrow, lower jaw/chin is too long, open bite, lower and upper jaws are not directly on top of each other, so I think the lower jaw is shifted 4mm to the right and maybe even more).
Yes, I know that I can ask my orthodontist and he can tell me exactly, but my next appointment isn't for another three months and I don't want to call or anything like that right now with a question like that.

Well, probably means they’re preparing to correct your jaw problems surgically. This could mean an operation, but I’m not an expert. After 1 1/2 years of treatment, it is possible that they will soon attach a firm chip to prepare everything optimally. Your pine orthopedic can definitely settle this when you see him in 3 months. Don’t worry, it will certainly explain everything, and you will know what happens next! 😊
First thanks for the answer! There will be an operation that will be fixed. And I already had two solid chips. :
Hello Noell,
Usually, everything is optimally prepared for the surgery with a brace and then a fine adjustment takes place.
Directly in front of the surgery, additional hooks are often clamped on the bow so that the elastics can be hung.
A pine surgery is a huge matter. It is very important that the patient knows what is planned and when what happens. You should explain this to your handler.
Good luck!

OP preparation means that it is operated at the jaw, because it is obviously not better with the current methods.
First thanks for the answer 🙂 The opera is that I know. I just wonder what exactly meant OP preparation, so whether within the next few weeks or only in a few months will be operated again.
