Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Went to my OS today. He cut the bands, took out the split and asked me to open my mouth. OUCH! I could barely open it. He gave me a tooth brush and i couldn't open my mouth wide enough to get it inside. Then the splint went back in and he put " loose " bands in. They enable my mouth to open a bit. I can take them off to eat. So I immediately came home and cooked up some scrambled eggs. I had to cut the pieces really small, and had to shove them between my teeth with a fork. The doctor said that after about a week, I should try to work on opening my mouth wider. I put the bands on, but I don't think I placed them where he did. I hope they're okay. On Monday I see my OD, and on Tues. I see the OS again. So those who are behind me, this is an example of what I went through. Those ahead me (in healing), how long does it take to get your mouth to work normally? Patty Lower advance, 7/12/05 Braces 3/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
