Another interesting read... I'm not convinced that having surgery younger is better - only because multiple doctors and specialists recently told me that I got my first major jaw reconstruction too young (19). This then resulted in my Treacher Collins condition worsening. I had braces at age 12 and then had them removed eight years later. Now I'm starting the process all over again. I've met several #craniofacial adults who started this process much later in life than I did, and they had excellent long-term results.
Parents, please just ensure you do your online research, talk to other parents who have experience by connecting with them in FB groups. Also, it never hurts getting a second or even a third medical opinion.
I will, however, say this article is very accurate as to the problems we regularly face. Dental hygiene and self-care pro-activeness are necessary. I will touch more on this subject soon. 💙
