Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone here will have plates and screw in for life. I have read alot of posts saying that they have to go in for another surgery to get screws and plates taken out once they have healed or alternatively they have resorbable screws. I asked my surgeon this the other day (I am 3 weeks post op) and he said that my screws will be in for life. This makes me a bit worried for some reason. Also I have to say that the best thing you can buy yourself is a waterpik for cleaning your mouth. I could not have got through the last fews weeks without it. .
