Off now Mel!!

xx

Thankyou all.

I am pleased with results. However I am not pleased with the amount of staining i have.

Can't wait for a deep clean. My teeth feel massive haha!!

My braces are FINALLY off. After 3 years and jaw surgery they are off! Can't stop looking at them.

Before and after pictures.....

1 yr later and i STILL have my braces on.
when will it end LOL

I had BSSO January 12th of this year and wisdom tooth removal. Everything has been fine up until last month. I healed very quickly however it took me several months to be able to fully open my mouth. I haven't had an orthodontist appointment since October (before this started happening) as I had to ...

I am nearly 5 month post op. Still have like 2% of numb patches. Not completely numb but when I touch under half my lip there is a numb "sensation". How are you doing Mel? I'm 98% back to normal on the jaw/teeth situation. My jaw is still stiff and find it difficult to open it without it c...

I feel you! I just want my braces off now but still have gaps to be closed. I had jaw surgery 3 months ago and I'm waiting for all my gaps to close because it's take ages!!!! My problems are on my top row! Don't worry they will come off sooner than later. You'd rather have nice PERFECT teeth then te...

Hello Mel, how are you feeling 4 month post op? How is the numbness is feeling all back yet? Wow you still have your elastics, my bites closed as much as they think they can get it. It's not perfect but it's okay. How is your chewing? I am 90% back to normal diet and can chew. How is pain? Do you st...

Spacers were absolutely the WORST part of the process, was so so so painful. I've had surgery 7 weeks ago on my jaw which wasn't as painful as spacers.

Everytime i bite down or chew on a certain tooth, i get weird sensations in my chin (where i have no feeling). Im a little worried about this. Also, when i touch the outside of my face (where i have no sensation) i get shooting pains in a certain tooth like a very sensitive pain. I don't know what i...

Mel - When they change your wires beware, they will NOT come out easily, lots of pulling clipping and all sorts, before my surgery they couldn't even pull them out to do moulds. I cant really open THAT wide, i feel like when i can open normally my jaw will just do a massive pop/crack (The same as pr...

Omg imagine if you had your braces off today! They're meant to leave them on a minimum of 12 weeks post surgery anyway!! It was my back teeth that were mega painful!!! He couldn't get my steel wire out and had to clip it in in loads of places to get it out. And had the thinnest of thin wires in? Hav...

Hello guys, on the 12-01-15 I had BSSO and mandibular set back with lower right and lower left wisdom tooth removal. I think I'm healed well enough to share my recovery. Overall I was very surprised at how well it went and how okay I felt waking up and the weeks to follow. Once I woke up, I wasn't g...

Hello Mel! The tooth brush and nerves thing completely rings a bell. I've been using my elec toothbrush since about 2 weeks post op but recently, since I can open my mouth pretty wide I get the the weird nerve tingly thing in my chin when I brush certain teeth or chew on certain teeth!!!!! I'm 6 wee...

Day 18 and I'm definitely over the worst
I'm very impressed with my bite (so far) and I am shocked at how different I look!
