Hi,

I will have my revision surgery this Wednesday.
I am after 3 years after first surgery and I knew from then that I will have to redo it.

I am getting anxious, hope I will manage and this time the surgery will be a succes.

Keep in touch,
Lucian.

Hello,

How did the revision surgery go?
I will have mine this Wednesday.

All the best,
Lucian.

I would definitely consult another surgeon. TMJ is a very serios disease and the success rate on joint surgery is very low. Good luck

Good luck and looking forward for updates!

Hello.

I had the jaw surgery 2 months ago and I want to ask you do you know how long should I wait until I can have the surgery for my deviated septum (I am a nose drops dependent since 20 years and still have problems breathing)?

Thanks,
Lucian.

So I had my splint removed and the surgeon said that the pain on one side is ok.
No I am back to orthodontic world.

When did you start biting / chewing?

Thank you very much for your help.

Keep in touch.

Hello,


I had the splint put during the surgery so woke up after surgery with the splint on.

Thanks for your fast reply.

Actually, tomorrow I will have the 1 month appointment with the doctor for taking out my splint.

I will tell him about the issue.

Many thanks!
Keep in touch.

I am allowed to open my mouth, since no more elastics, only splint.

So the pain on the left side is when I open my mouth and try to eat.

Hello fellow colleagues,

After 1 month I have swelling only on the left side and pain on this site when trying to eat.
Is it normal?

Thanks for your support.

Hello, Also I had double jaw surgery on 1st of March for a huge class 2 overbite. (previously I had also SARPE last year) Indeed, the first week is the hardest one. I was lucky that I have a missing tooth so I could eat through this hole more. But the swelling, the sleep, the breathing, these are th...

Thanks for your fast reply, is really appreciated.

Hello all,

Tomorrow will mark 25 days from my double jaw surgery and I will have my splint removed.
Just wondering, when is it normal the splint to be removed?
I have seen 6 weeks on a different blogs, so I am a little afraid that mine is taken off too early.

Lucian

Thank you for your quick answers.
I have put myself a repeated reminder to put my tongue on the roof of my mouth.

All the best.
