Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hey everybody! I'm now almost 2 months post-op and have some questions. Could anyone who had surgery to correct an open bite tell me how long it takes for your teeth to completely settle into place? My teeth on the right side touch, and the left side is very close, but not quite touching. My bite is much better and I no longer clench and grind my teeth at night! I just stopped wearing my bands and my orthodontist put normal elastics back on my braces. I'm afraid my bite won't completely close without the bands though. Can anyone relate? Thanks! BTW, I updated my pictures so you can see the improvement in my bite if you want to check them out @ http://web.csuchico.edu/~nb71/jaw% 20surgery.htm or on this webpage under .
