Anybody had occlusal equilibration after surgery?

[Guest guest]

I saw my surgeon today. He said things looked good, and I could go to wearing

the

elastics just at night. I had upper leforte I 5 days ago. He mentioned the

next time I see

him, in a week he will do some occlusal equilibration to help modify my bite.

Occlusal

equilibration involves grinding some of my teeth down basically. Right now my

teeth on

the right side hit before the left side. Since I had an open bite, these teeth

probably

haven't touched in a long time, until the surgeon moved my upper jaw.

Is this pretty common after orthognathic surgery?

I have had this done more than once. This procedure was done before I

was willing to have surgery to get some of the tension out of my bite.

Doen't hurt at all and it did help. Unfortunately not an option

anymore. You won't be able to see a difference in appearance.
