Orthognathic Surgery

Welcome graphic

Hey there! My name is Ashley Long and I had jaw surgery on July 22, 2005. I decided to get a website together with post op pics and links and some stuff about my experience. It's hard to believe that I have had my jaw wired shut and have been living off of liquids. The prospect of this scares some people who are going to have the surgery and I thought I could do something to hopefully help calm their fears and provide insight into the surgery.

You'll find a link for a great group on yahoo dealing with orthognathic surgery and also a way to contact me later on in this website. The yahoo group really is a great place for anyone who has questions about the surgery and is just looking for support to get through the surgery.

this was me pre-op Oct 2004 before I had my braces
