Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Here I am at 9 months and a few weeks (Oct 5th I had surgery -- upper and lower). I still have swelling in my right cheek -- I thought for sure this would have been done by now. My lower lips still tingles but I have most of my feeling back but my chin is super sensitive so I have to wear a goatee b/c when I shave, it hurts too much. Also, when they put my upper teeth back together (I had a 3-piece done) they didn't line up my midline, so now it looks off. But rather than go through that whole procedure over again, I'm just going to finish up my braces and move on with my life. I AM SO SICK OF THESE BRACES!!! I was scheduled for a second surgery tog et my midlines fixed, and ins. would have paid, but then I got a kick-a$$ job offer (doubled my salary) and said, forget it! So.... I wish this could have been done perfectly the first time... If I can make 1 suggestion -- GET REFERENCES!!! of couse, my OS said he's only had to re-do 3 in his entire life (he just turned 50).. but I think that statistic is misleading... I mean, he should have re-did mine, but I didn't have the time to go through this all again... How many other ppl did he do that needed a touch up that didn't go through it??? I'd expect there to be lots of them.. -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
