Re: Has anyone had dental implants after orthognathic?

July 4, 2005

Hi!

Welcome to the group! I've had my braces on for two years now. I'm

having surgery on July 6 for my underbite/crossbite. I was also

born without two of my teeth and will be needing dental implants

after surgery. I think when you get them all depends on when your

orthodontist creates enough room for the oral surgeon to put them in

(I think its something like 7mm?). I believe I'm supposed to get

mine probably sometime like 6 months after my surgery.

Hi there,

I just had upper and lower jaw surgery on June 28th. I will be

having dental implants put in afterwards. I am congenitally missing

my canines. My dentist who will be putting in my implants suggested

going to see him in 6 weeks or so so he could check the spacing and

see how much I could open my mouth. I would like to get the implants

in as soon as my mouth heals.

Take care,

Kay
