Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

5 years & 5 months update
Happy new year! About 5.5 years have passed since my orthognathic surgery and my upper jaw is still doing quite well so far. I can feel the entire roof of my mouth and gums. Here are a few recent photos of my smile with and without teeth showing. Take care everyone!
1 year anniversary from jaw surgery!
It has been 1 year and about 1 month since I had upper jaw surgery. Today, I can feel majority of the upper roof of my mouth as well as my upper gums. My mouth feels awesome. I wear my upper retainers daily and my lower retainers every night. It is still surreal for me to realize how far I've come. Cheers.
Update of my jaws 125 days later...
2016-05-26 - It has been 125 days since my last review when my braces came off. The gums and the roof of my upper jaw is now slightly numb. For the most part, I have noticed a lot more sense of feeling than before.
I wear my upper retainers every day and night. I take them out whenever I eat and drink (except with water). My bottom retainers are worn just at night.
My surgeon said from now on until the next year, my face will continue to slightly change since my upper jaw and gums are still settling in. I am very pleased with the way it's healing so far!

Provider Review
Dr. Kyle D. Tidstrom & Dr. Mark R. Omlie
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Tidstrom and Dr. Omlie from Oral & Maxillofacial Surgical Consultants, and the nurses at Fairview Southdale Edina hospital in Minnesota, USA. They make sure their patients feel special and at ease during the whole process before, during and after surgery. I would highly recommend them.
