Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hi all, I just got back from the OS. I am officially banded. I am already feeling the pressure on the upper and lower teeth and jaws. He has the bands wrapped around 4 to 5 brackets and has I think a total of 4 bands in. He stated that the jaw is trying to relapse creating the crossbite. He is hopeful the bands will shift the jaw back into the correct position. (Cammie you were correct!) The bands are to stay in at all times even while eating. This is where I wish I had the numbness back so I wouldn't feel all of this. He said it will be about another 4 weeks or so before he releases me back to my OD. I hope all my June buddies are doing okay and recovery is going along well. Take Care, --Caboose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
