Guri posted my thread on the experience, I only posted the first couple days of it but it was pretty uneventful after that, just the stitches coming out was obnoxious but not bad. Was even able to work the day after my operation.

I think as long as you aren't getting them pulled out in the 1800s like Dusty the operation won't be bad.

Braces sucked 100x more imo.
