My list for you:: 1)maintain excellent oral hygiene prior to surgery and get your teeth cleaned professionaly. 2) follow all pre-op instructions from your surgeon. 3) plan out diets for soft foods/liquids and have them ready as nutrition is very important. 4) get prescriptions ahead of time. 5) have your work /school schedule worked out. 6) have good movies and books ready. Good luck !

Underbite surgery: Compile all your questions you have for the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and your orthodontist, if you have one. The less questions you have about the procedure, the less stress and worry you will have. You might also ask forthe names of other patients who've had the same surgery, and get their input…and good luck!

Communicate: Talk to both Oral Surgeon and Orthodontic Specialist about pre-op preparation. Keep your mouth scrupulously clean...don't forget to clean between teeth. Don't damage your braces...watch what you eat. Lay in a supply of liquid high protein supplements. You'll be thrilled with the outcome.
