widom teeth and SARPE?. Help

[Guest guest]

I came across this group and very impressed with the knowledge and

good support going on in here. Let me let ya'll know on my situation

so i can get some help and ANY will do SERIOUSLY.

The first thing ive done is the palate expander, ive worn it for

about 1 month now, i can see improvement on my right, infact the

right is perfectly aligned but my left side of the jaw is narrow

from the start and this is why i need the surgery or so my dentist

says so. I need my wisdom teeth removed below so that'll happen and

this surgery which im informed will correct my crossbite and yeah

that perfect arch is formed. She was like might as well do both of

them at the same time. Now whats going to happen to me after this

surgery, im aware of the basics and all that, still researching as

much as i can but is this combination going to be severe such as the

swelling, i mean i want to go to classes so ill be swollen depending

on my characteristics but an estimate and extended info would be

WELCOME.

thanks a lot.

Hi,

I had the palate expander put in on the 1st Dec, and then had SARPE

on the 3rd Dec. I also had my wisdom teeth out and one other tooth

(which was a mutant located behind the others). I'm 34, so I needed

the surgery for the expander to work. They op was day surgery - I

arrived at 9:45 and my wife picked me up at about 13:30.

I am now halfway through the expansion. I think the worst part of it

all has been having the metal expander and trying to talk

(particularly for the first week or so) - but I've found that I can

speak reasonably well now (but with a significant and annoying

lisp).

I was happy to get my wisdom teeth out at the same time - they used

to get infected every month or so, and I didn't want to have two

dental operations. My swelling (which was mainly from where the

wisdom teeth were) was almost gone in four days. People don't notice

the swelling now (10 days later). They only notice a difference when

I open my mouth and they see the gap between my front teeth (my jaw

is being expanded 1.1 cm, and it's about halfway there).

I couldn't eat much for the first week, but I can eat fairly well now

(mainly soups, soft cheese and yogurt, nothing too chewy). I do get

pain about an hour after turning the expander and sometimes wake up

with pain - but this is managable. I was also told not to do weights

or play contact sport for three months after the surgery, which is

frustrating, but it's worth it.

Hope this helps and best of luck.

Cheers,
