Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 When they did my DD upper jaw a Lafort I Ostonomy. They moved her jaw 4mm forward and widened her upper pallet. During the surgery her wire broke and for 6 weeks she was without the wire only the splint. She had her splint removed Tuesday and the wire immediately replaced (two visits within the hour to both the OS and OD) When looking at her one side of her front teeth appeared to be longer than the other which freaked me out a little bit. Her OD said that he can fix that with the braces. After only having the wire on one day I can see an improvement. I was really concerned but relieved that it does seem to be something that is fixable. Has anyone else ever seen this happen.Is it because she didn't have an upper wire for 6 weeks or because of the surgery itself?
