What happens now?

[Guest guest]

Hey guys, I had surgery today removing my 4 wisdom teeth and had

surgically assisted palatal expansion as well. I wore the braces

before and there was a gap forming already but i dont see it any

bigger after this surgery or the fact that the left side which was

abit narrow to start with aligned with my bottom properly. Does this

all happen subsequently with a couple turns of the key that

radically moves it and then this gets closed by my orthodontist

later on?

Secondly, what are some nutritious foods that i can eat during the

healing time besides protein shakes and herbal drinks that have

superfoods in it that will make me feel unzapped ( present feeling -

zapped)

thanks

Hi,

One thing I used both pre and post-op was a product called Floradix

(you can find it in a good health food store) - it's a liquid iron

and b vitamin supplement. It's likely this can help with your evergy

levels, although it's normal to feel weak after surgery.

I did not have SARPE, but it's my understanding that yes, once you

start cranking the key according to your surgeon's direction, the gap

will widen and yes, over time, your ortho will close it as he shifts

your teeth into their proper position.

As for other foods, you can blend just about anything if you have

enough liquid. I had all of my favourite vegetables (especially

turnip), if you can do soft foods try whizzing up things small enough

so that you can just swallow them but still get the flavour. In the

past, people here have even blended things like pizza and Big Macs.

Hope that helps,
