Re: Re: Do you look different when braces come off?

[Guest guest]

Zulu, Why are you required to be in braces for so long after having your

surgery? Was your bite still way off after surgery? I notice that when I place

my teeth together( not bite hard, still cant do that) that my back teeth on one

side close down on the inside of my cheek. Did you have this problem at all?

Also, on the mouth widening subject again... did you lose range on being able to

open since having your surgery? Do your lower teeth look the same as they did

upon opening. When I open my mouth now, It looks like my bottom teeth move down

and back as opposed just moving down. This makes it look like my mouth is not

opening as wide. It feels like I am at full range now and still not very wide. I

doubt I could fit a cheeseburger into my mouth to bite into it.

I've gotten some sort of attachment to the braces... i want the

braces off, but i've told my ortho i want teeth perfect before the

braces come off... my ortho tells me that they should be off in

about 6-8 more months...

i'm not complaining... i respect the process
