I am 18 years old and had braces for 7 years. In November of 2011, i had upper jaw surgery to correct an under-bite. I recently had my braces removed and have been fitted with a retainer with and false tooth but I would like to know, how long I will have to wait until I can get the implant. Will the jaw surgery affect my chances of getting it sooner, or getting it at all?
