Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hello. I had upper jaw surgery on dec. 9 th to move it about half an inch forward. Right out of the surgery I had a splint, but no bands!! The doctor said he would wait one week to put the bands on. One week later they are on and I get the splint off on wed. the 22nd as well as my bands. I have had around 25 surgeries due to my cleft lip and palate so having this surgery compared with others is not to bad. If you have lower jaw surgery I think it is a whole different type of pain but if you are having just upper, don't fret to much. peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
