<p>Hi there, parents! If there are any of you whose kids have had orthognathic surgery (or if there are any specialists in the subject), perhaps you can give me some advice.</p>
<p>I think I was supposed to have my wisdom teeth out months ago, but I just had them extracted yesterday. Given four months for the bone to fill in, I should be able to have the surgery in early August at the soonest, right? I’m leaving for college in September, and frosh orientation is somewhere around Sept. 9.</p>
<p>Also, I really want to do Outdoor Action, but something tells me it’s not an exceedingly good idea. Would doing Community Action be okay (week of community service with a group of students)?</p>
<p>Or is it better to do neither Outdoor nor Community Action and arrive just in time for frosh orientation, giving myself six weeks at home instead of four and a half? And what is the best way to continue post-op treatment? My orthodontist will help me find someone near my university to continue the orthodontic treatment. In that case, should I simply arrive at school earlier to consult with the new orthodontist?</p>
<p>Thanks for any input you can give me!</p>
