Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey there, I am at almost 4 weeks post double jaw surgery and noticed recently that my top front teeth are numb. I guess after they took out my splint and I could start `exploring`my mouth. At the same time I have had a lisp since the surgery. Is it possible that both are related? And do they genera...

Hi Tomm31, I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow. I had, and have, significant pain. One week + post op it was at a 7 or 8 out of 10, and that's with round-the-clock treatment with codeine and tylenol and advil. It was searing, jabbing, burning pain all the time and worse at night. It actually hurt inside ...

[quote=kplatt2010 post_id=506339 time=1546134137 user_id=32146] Hi Tomm31, Has the pattern of your pain always been this way or is this a new onset? Timing is key with the meds and what type of meds that you are taking. I found that my pain increased with more activity to include [u]talking [/u]and ...

hello there, I made it, I finally had my double jaw surgery one week ago. The recovery during the days is quite allright, I am patient with myself the swelling is still there but I know it is temporary so it is bearable. The one really unbearable thing is the pain that starts at night and last until...

hey, i know how you feel with the braces. I have the exact same problem with the only difference being that my docs managed to stay within the projected timeline. I was lucky for that. but, my underbite did get MUCH worse and it has become really unbearable for me . it has also worsened my tmj probl...

hey,
my surgeon adviced me not to fly during 10 days post surgery. maybe that helps...

Hey, I am about four months pre double jaw surgery for my underbite. In past, I have experienced jaw clicking but I have the feeling it got worse since I got my braces on. Recently I am noticing joint pain aswell. It´s not too bad so far, but I am a bit alarmed. Is it something that could be fixed d...

Hello, what are your updates since your last post? Did you decide to start the treatment? I can comment only on the braces part: I am 31 and I´ve been in braces for 5 months now. They are quite uncomfortable and I am a bit self conscious about them BUT I am old enough to have an overall distance to ...

[quote=bimax101 post_id=502143 time=1526227476 user_id=31876] I was told by the team, typically 2 weeks should be enough for someone to go back to work provided it was not a physically strenuous job. Personally I think that sound way to ambitious. [/quote] I am getting the bimax done in France and I...

I´m in a similar situation. I am about 5 months in and I already feel the massive difference in the way i feel and also in my looks i´m afraid. and it´s normal. so my way to handle it is really that I see it as a one year project just to get to the surgery. the next project will be the recovery. Don...

Hey there, I am new to this so i´ll introduce myself. Im a 31 yrs old male with an underbite living in Paris. I had my wisdom teeth removed and I had a gum surgery to fix the recessions prior to getting braces (upper ones in january followed by the lower ones a month later). The surgery is planed to...
