Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Yes it is normal for the jaw to pull back or left or right. My dr says it needs taining to knowwhat position to heal in. Mine was pulling back and to the left after surgery soI wear elastics 24 hours a day for about a week now and longer. I am noticing my midline is perfect with the elastics and my OS says my joints and bones are healing so they will heal inthis position. I can't even take off my rubberbands to eat.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Chances are you will work that out through the post-op orthodontics...this often happens and can be corrected. Talk to your OR and see their thoughts or your OS if you have that apt first can tell you who is going to be helping with which areas of your recovery and final tweaking-not a medical term just works! Hang in there, eevry day will get better...Trust me I just got my braces off today!! And no pain, no BAD stains, and my lips and teeth can touch in ways they NEVER could before.....VERY neat!!
