Michael van Gerwen Undergoes Jaw Surgery

Michael van Gerwen will undergo surgery to have both his upper and lower jaws broken.

The operation aims to correct his severe underbite, which causes significant pain and discomfort.

Van Gerwen has been experiencing issues with his teeth and jaw alignment, leading to increased wear on his teeth.

He has been wearing braces since his first operation at the beginning of the year.

The underbite affects not only his darts career but also his daily life, making it difficult for him to bite through food.

Van Gerwen's wife is also affected, as his jaw problems cause him to snore loudly, disrupting her sleep.

The darts star hopes the surgery will put an end to his physical complaints.

Van Gerwen assumes he won't be out for long, planning to play in the Players Championships on August 21 and 22.

He is the most successful player in darts history, alongside Phil Taylor, with three World Championship wins in 2014, 2017, and 2019.

As of now, Van Gerwen has won more PDC tournaments than any other professional.

The surgery will involve breaking and readjusting his jaws, moving his upper jaw forward 6 millimeters and his lower jaw back 3 millimeters.

Van Gerwen is looking forward to alleviating his pain and returning to his darts career.

He has been troubled by his underbite for a while, and the surgery is a necessary step to correct it.

The operation will help him to regain his comfort and focus on his game.

Van Gerwen's determination to overcome his physical issues is a testament to his dedication to the sport.

And with his planned return to play, fans can expect to see him back in action soon.

But for now, the focus is on his recovery and the upcoming surgery.

So the darts world waits with anticipation for Van Gerwen's return.

The Players Championships will be a significant test for him, and his participation is eagerly awaited.

Van Gerwen's wife will also be relieved once the surgery is completed, and he can get a good night's sleep without snoring.

The darts star's journey to recovery will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
