Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Hi all, I went for my 3 week post-op on thursday. My splint was removed at 2 weeks and my OS decided to leave me free, no bands, nothing for a week to see how my bite settled. I went in on thursday expected to get a bunch of bands and after poking around a few minutes my surgeon announced that my bite is settling in perfectly I would not need bands and he would see me in 3 weeks for my 6 week check up. He told me to call if I had any problems but to go on with my life as normal. When I first got the splint off none of my molars touched but over the last week they have come together. I guess the muscles have adjusted. I can still only open about 1 finger, but I was told to wait til 6 weeks and then we will worry about it. So total after upper and lower surgery I had a splint and 2 loose bands for 2 weeks and that is it. I'm really happy with my new bite. Those of you who are just starting and have doubts I can tell you it is SO worth it. It is a long and frustrating process but the end result is wonderful. I'm very grateful that I have had an easy recovery. Hope all of you August people have as easy of a time as I did! Marsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
