Re: Excess saliva/ underbite?

I had a overbite. And drooled all the time all I had to do was turn my head to the side and it happened. Also it happened when I was sleep. But about one week after my surgery it all stop.

It' no longer happens, so hopefully your all be the same.

Re: Post op and struggling hard.

Things are going ok, my braces come off on the 9th may. Fingers crossed.

Eating is still hard, I have trouble chewing food with my back teeth.

But I'm learning each day how to cope with my new bite.

Re: moulds before surgery?

Ask at your joint clinc how long the waiting list is. That way you have an idea of time.

Re: moulds before surgery?

Hi,
I'm with the NHS, when my ortho said I was ready for surgery I had to wait a month as the joint clinc was once a month. After joint clinc I waited 3 months for the surgery. It all depend on where u live and how busy your hospital is.
