---Yikes!! My OS told me it was rare complication. I know they cut

the nerve and then its suppose to regenerate. I'm post op 3 wks and

I'm thankful my teeth are okay. I had achiness in my teeth for the

first 2 wks. Hope all goes well and hopefully none of the other

teeth have problems. Good luck!

Thanks

I was not aware that this could be a complication of ral Surgery. God i

hope thats the only tooth affected. This is really depressing; After going

through all that and then having damage to your teeth, especially right in the

front.

I didn't, but I have heard of it. The one I remember most was also a

couple of front teeth that died post op. It's not something I

remember having happened to many people, though. I think my contract

with my ortho (which didn't deal with the surgery at all) also

mentioned that such can happen with basic ortho treatment.

Sorry that it did. That has to be disconcerting.

Best,
