Re: 3 days post-op, and my bite is wired in a VERY funky position

[Guest guest]

My bite is also really weird after the surgery. NONE of my molars

touch at all and I have about 3 teeth total that do touch but not in

the right spot. This is because I had a deep bite and they couldn't

move them to the correct position before the surgery. My OD said that

all the spaces can be closed up and not to worry. But I agree, it

feels really weird and I couldn't stand it for about a week but now

I'm used to it I guess. Hope this helps.

Hi!

I had that too, only with elastics. It is getting better now because

the elastics are moving my teeth into the proper position. I would

say, ask your surgeon and OD about it. And then relax. its way too

early to expect a complete fit. Happy healing!!
