Is the correct bite so important?

My story begins with my childhood. I have always had an incorrect bite. My parents took me to the dentists, but the answer was always the same. "The lower jaw can be changed only with the help of surgery, but it is better to do this in adulthood, now the bone is still growing." If you think that the lower jaw is disproportionate to the upper one, this is about aesthetics, then no. First of all, it's hard for me to breathe.

Now, having passed thirty years, I have already got used to automatically arching my neck so that it was easier to breathe, but before I constantly lacked air. The fact is that the correct bite forms an airflow, so a person with an even bite does not breathe easier and deeper. After a while, I began to notice that the back teeth did not touch each other and I could not completely close my mouth. This led to incorrect speech, it was difficult to pronounce some sounds. In addition, the teeth began to grow crookedly. The first thing I did on the way to a beautiful smile was to put braces on.

At the doctor's appointment, I have prescribed an operation only on the lower jaw. I was shocked when the doctor said that I would not be able to chew for two months! But I'm ready for anything for the right bite.

The operation was successful. For the first couple of days, I could only drink water from a syringe. On the third day, I was able to eat mashed soup from a syringe. This lasted for two months. All this time I went to microcurrents, which helped to relieve swelling. I also wear a bandage. On the sixth day, I was discharged from the hospital and I was recovering at home. Two months later, it was exciting to chew food with a new lower jaw. It was extremely difficult but I managed. The correct bite is important for health in the first place, for beauty and self-confidence as an additional!
