I have had it done. It helped. I think that most surgeries are 3 steps forward and 2 steps back.

Another point. It is not unusual for those whose jaws are moved forward to need orthodontic work to straighten their teeth. I was over 65 when I had it done. I noticed about 6 months later that I couldn't make my molars contact each other. After treatment I wear retainers each night.

You will ue a blender tao prepare your meals for about 6 weeks. (If memory serves me correctly.)

Yes, there were improvements. I can drive safely now.

Luck
