Metal Mouth Message Board

Wow anabel you have been through quite a lot. 5 hours in the operating room. I am impressed with how soon you started writing on the boards again. So how did your dr. appointment go the other day, is everything coming along ok? About the tape I just used a bunch of suds and kept going in circular mo...

My surgery was Tues and it went very well! I have to thank all you guys for preparing me for my surgery, I was nervous but still very relaxed before and after since I knew what to expect. Thanks! My parents even had me laughing in the recovery room cause my bottom lip was about 4 times the regular ...

If you all don't mind I would love to let you know what happens in my consultation with the doctor. Rebecca When I went to the surgeon the first time he did a lot of measuring of my face, jaw and my overbite. He also went over eating after the surgery. And he went over the basics of the surgery and...

Thanks for the info, I will try to get my pics up tonight!

I am soo happy to find you guys again! :lol: I finally got dsl again so I would have something to do while I was off of work after surgery. I am having my lower jaw advanced about 11 mm. All week I have been really anxious and everyone keeps telling me that it will be ok, which I know, but it doesn'...

Hey Jess, I was just looking over your story and your pics and wanted to say hello. You should be extremely proud of what you are doing. I know it can be difficult at times but the longer you have them on the more you realize how many adults have braces on nowdays. And by the way, you have absolutel...

Sirena Just wondering how everything is going after surgery, hope all is well! nvcarissa, Congrats! and I assume you meant "should". It is a big relief to know when your surgery is because you've got to plan your whole life around it for a few months. I am in a wedding on June 3 so if I ca...

Hello Nahky, That would be great to have an idea of what I would look like, I have never tried to put a pic on the site before so tonight I will try. Just thought I would also add that this morning I opened up my email and had 56 emails from the yahoo support forum, and it was just everyone that had...

Hey MMG, I had found the yahoo site and searched it before, and you are absolutely right! I couldn't even find one single photo, eventhough there were plenty of messages commenting on them. But I decided to check it out one more time. If you sign up for the orthognathic surgery group and then click ...

Hello everyone, I am going Feb 7 to schedule my surgery and it will probably be sometime in April. I was just curious if anyone took some pics of themselves before and after the surgery. I am just trying to get an idea of what I will look like. I have found only 2 personal websites with pics on it, ...

Hello Sirena, First I just wanted to tell you that it was great reading your story, I can't wait to have my surgery done. I go to see my surgeon on Feb 1 to schedule my surgery, it should be sometime in April. I work at a law firm as a receptionist, and recently my office manager asked me how long I...

Atleast your ortho informed you of what he was doing! I just got my adjustment done and he just asked the assistant to hand him something and he started sanding away on my teeth. Ooouuch, I feel your pain also!! It was not a pleasant experience, not that I expect any of them to be great. I like to b...

Hello Crystal, Glad to hear your surgery went so well. How is the healing coming along, is your chin still numb? I am planning on having the surgery sometime next year and was wondering how bad talking is after the surgery? I am a receptionist and will be out maybe 3 weeks to allow time to heal but ...
