Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 The only pain I experienced was when I would take my bands off to eat. It wasn't sharp pain but dull and usually went away when I put the bands back on. The fact you think you can feel it move is disconcerting and should be brought up to your OS at next visit. eric > > > > > > Just wondering if any other members have experienced pain in > there > > > palate after having their upper and/or lower jaw moved. > > > > > > I just had both jaws moved forward.
