The diary of an orthognathic patient aged 30 3/4.
This article reports on the experiences of an orthodontist who has actually undergone combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment. The aim is to give the reader an insight into not only what we, the orthodontists, fail to tell our orthognathic patients, but also what they fail to tell us.
