Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hi all, I'm 4-weeks post-op now. My splint got taken out today. What a wierd feeling - I guess it takes some time to get used to not having your mouth full of plastic. My back molars don't touch, which my OS says is standard alignment for everyone he does - in 2 weeks I will see my OD and he will adjust my braces so my molars line up better. I've gotten the go ahead for 'mushy' food, which is a step up from blended food, we'll see if my jaw works well enough for the mushy stuff. My lips still don't touch together naturally, the Dr. said I need to practice stretching out my lips to stretch out the scar tissue from the incisions - I have about a 1 cm gap between them at rest right now. But...each week seems to bring a new level of healing....so hang in there everyone just out of surgery - and thanks for all the advice from people further down the healing path!
