Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I am at the end of my 5th week after upper and lower jaw surgery. Doing good so far. Next Friday my splint comes off...which I am looking forward to immensely. I don't have braces, I don't have bands and I am not wired shut. I have these metal pieces that are screwed into my jaw. One on top and one on bottom. I guess they are used in case the jaw needs to be alligned with rubberbands. These metal pieces are coming off in three weeks. I was wondering if anyone knew what that was like...as well as the removal of the splint. Anything in particular I should be forwarned about? Any insight to this is greatly appreciated!!!
