The surgeon says my bite is off. They would essentially break the jaw and put s screw in the roof of my mouth. They would then periodically adjust the screw to slowly widen my upper jaw so my bite would be aligned by the end of 6-8 weeks. They would clean out some bone chips from me trying to force my mouth to close the first time it locked open many years ago. Sounds like fun!! Sign me up. Uhhh supposed it would be a great diet. Not exactly running to the registration.

TMJ not so fun..
