Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 i will be five weeks post op on wednesday and i only have four bands in my mouth. The problem is sometimes i can't tell how far i am opening my mouth and i break a band. I am trying to be really careful but i was wondering if this was a good thing or a bad thing? My OS gave me extra bands just in case they broke before my next appointment but he never said if i should be careful or not. I need some advice if this has happend to anyone else.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Don't worry about it - bands break. Especially when you leave them in while eating. Just put another band on. No big deal.
