Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hello I hope everyone is doing well, I posted some pics in the photo section under the name BRAD B, I would love for some people to check them out and get some opinions on how my bite is looking. My bite looked pretty decent when I went to my surgeon and got my bands taken off, but after a few hours it seemed to change again. Im probably worrying too much, but I just cant see how braces are going to make that big of a difference?? I have already been in them for at least 4 years. Is seems like by lookin at it if I was to take my splint out I would have a heck of an openbite?? I am suppose to go back to my surgeon in a 5 days to get checked out but Im thinking mabye I should go sooner, I know you guys arent surgeons..but I would just like some opinions. thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi Brad, Since I am not a professional and preop, I really don't know what I am looking for. I have heard from my OD that once the surgery is complete, my teeth will still have to be moved into position with the braces. The preop braces get the teeth into approximate presumed position, which while pretty accurate, can still be visually " off " post op. I am not aware of seeing other pics of people just post as to how the bite matches up. Can you email the pics to your OS office? That might let them assure you that all is well, or determine if they need to check in person. It might save you a trip anyway. Just a thought.
