Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hello all, I went to the ortho yesterday and he replaced my upper wire. I thoght I would go to the OS today to get the splint taken out and I was told one more week or so. I am so disappointed. I really wanted this thing out of my mouth. Oh well. I guess I am still healing. However, the ortho didn't replace the hooks so I can't use rubberbands anymore. Yeah! But it seems like my upper teeth and lower teeth are not meeting. I guess ortho should fix that, huh? Hope all is well. Gotta go. Just wanted a shoulder to cry on. Shauna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Back when I was doing this stuff, my surgeon had promised me six weeks in the splint. I went for the six-week appointment, all full of expectations. " Come back next week, " I was told. " But you promised six weeks, " I wailed. Evil grin: " Yes, but I lie. " I thought about it and decided I'd truly rather he'd leave it in six months more than I needed it, than take it out one day too early. He took good care of me.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Thanks Cammie, You are right. At least I can chew now (or at least try) I am only 5 weeks post op. But I am also kind of disappointed because he said I may need another operation because he had to open me up pretty much in my upper. He originally said he would do it in the office, but now he wants to see me next week and I may need to go to the hospital for yet another surgery. Bummer. Pray for me. I am also getting a really nasty taste coming from the splint. It is gross. I guess it is all part of that " smell " thing when I get it taken out, huh? Food particles, etc. (not to get too graphic) Gotta go. Lost is on.
