Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 hello.. my name is Katheryn and 10 days ago i had my 4 wisdom teeth pulled, my upper jaw moved forward 8mm and my chin grafted. all to correct my underbite. i was suppose to have my lower jaw broken and moved back ut they said it was in a 'good place'. the past few days i have been looking on the internet for a site like this.. im not sure if my family actually understands what im going through, and my friends dont have a lot of contact with me since they are all busy preparing for school. my jaw is wired shut, and i was wondering was is this 'banding' some people have. ive read some soft food recipes for banding and im thinking that its a hell of a lot easier for eating than sucking watered down tomoto soup through your teeth everyday! i know a lot of you have already been through all this or are at least farther ahead in your recovery, so i was wondering if you could help with comments or explanations. i have a meeting next tuesday with the oral surgeon and i will ask him then how long my mouth will be wired shut for. but what comes after wires? banding? and what is this horrible thing ive heard of when they pull your wires out?? :S i know there are 3 in my upper jaw and 1 or 2 maybe in my chin. it scares me .... anyways thank you very much!
