Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hi All, I had upper jaw surgery 4 weeks ago. I had 6mm bone removed from the upper jaw to correct my open bite, also had the back of my upper arch widened by 7mm, and had one of my airways in my nose opened up more. I still have complete numbness of my upper gums and roof of my mouth, and some numbness under my eyes. When will the numbness go away? Could it be months, or never? I am also wearing a splint to keep my upper arch from regressing back to it's narrow state. I have to wear it six weeks total. 2 weeks left. I can't stand it! I feel like I will never complain about anything again once it's removed. Any info or comments are appreciated! Thanks much! K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
