Almost 5 months post op and now new problem has arisen

[Guest guest]

Had upper, lower, genio on Jan. 17. Was wired then rubber banded.

Still sore, still eating soft foods, still have limited opening.

Went to my ortho today for monthly appt. She had me wearing 2

rubber bands in the very front (all the time) and 2 rubber bands in

the very back (those at night only). The rubber bands in the back

were to try and help my teeth touch in the back as they aren't at

all now. Had to wear rubber bands in the front b/c the first time

she had me wear rubber bands in the back only my bite started to

open up. So long story short she now tells me to wear NO rubber

bands and to see what happens, she tells me my jaw is unstable and

that she wants to see where my teeth settle. She said when I bite

only half of one tooth on the left side actually touches, the rest

is all open bite in the back. She says she doesn't know if she can

get these teeth to touch as the rubber bands in the back don't seem

to be doing the job. During my surgery my top jaw per my surgeon

was very very thin, see through and crumbling so apparently he

couldn't move things around the way he anticipated so now my teeth

don't seem to be fitting together the way they should. So I asked

my ortho do you think my teeth will ever come together and she

hesitates and says she doesn't know. So now I'm like then the

surgery was a failure then and it seems like I've been through this

hell for no reason. She said I'll probably have a slight open bite

and teeth that don't touch in the back. This is where I was before

surgery except I had a big open bite. The whole reason for surgery

was to fix all this and b/c I was told I am wearing out my jaw,

joints, etc. and had TMJ pain. I feel awful now and now I am

worried how my teeth will move with no rubber bands. I've also been

experiencing awful headaches from the aching on the left side of my

jaw that starts at my lower jaw and goes up to my head. I told her

about this and she said maybe it is from the rubber bands and to see

if they get better. I told her I am still very sore from the

surgery too. So tomorrow I have an appointment with my oral

surgeon and I am going to bring up all of this and ask his opinion

and I think him and her should talk about how to fix this

situation. This is soooo crazy! Has anybody else had this problem

of their teeth not fitting properly. This is my 5th time in braces,

I've had them on over a year and half this time and my ortho tells

me she has no idea when I'll be getting mine off. This has been a

total nightmare. I still feel like mask face woman with the

tightness in my lower and chin area and I am still soooo sore and I

really can't take these headaches every day.
