healing in my jaw

I used to have bad digestive problems in the past until I realised in sec 3, that the cause of it was because I had a jaw problem. Dentist said that I wasn’t able to put on braces as my case was a serious one. I was then referred to an orthodontist.

During my first visit at the orthodontist in Jan 2008, he said that my case was a very complicated one and I needed to go for operation. I took X rays and was scheduled for an operation in Jan 2009. I started off with braces first as my teeth needed to be straight first before I was able to go for the operation. It was said that my jaw would be more emphasized after my teeth are being straightened. Still, my parents committed me to the Lord and believed that a miracle would happen. I told God that no matter what, operation for me is a No.


By September 2008, my teeth were completely straight already. There was improvement in my jaw as compared to previously. My orthodontist was amazed but still, he said that if I’d stop improving, then I may want to consider going for the operation due in another 4 months.

However, God is awesome! My jaw continued to have vast improvements under the treatment of my orthodontist. I was asked to put on rubber bands in my mouth in order to move my jaw to the left since it’s crooked to the right. The treatment was an uncomfortable yet encouraging one as I see the hands of God upon me. By December 2008, my jaw was totally straightened but both the upper and lower jaw still wasn’t able to meet. By December, my orthodontist was very pleased with my improvement and said that I no longer need to undergo operation. Hence, operation plans was cancelled. Healing still continued with constant prayers. By May, I was able to have a perfect bite and my jaw is now completely healed!

I was the first miracle case to my orthodontist. He said that it was near impossible that such a complicated case like mine is able to avoid operation. Little did I know that my orthodontist’s a Christian too. I believe that it wasn’t by mere coincidence that I was referred to him. I believe that God was using his hands to heal me. Praise God! God truly answers prayers!
