Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Hi everyone! Im still in the " early " stages of preparing for surgery. I have brace..had them for 13 months now with the hooks. My mandible is so uneven that Ive had to wear a splint for a year before I could even get braces, now I have the splint again and have had it for 3 months. Tomorrow, Monday 26th, I see the OS for the official word as to what is to take place. The ortho thinks I should have my maxilla expanded...mandible brought forward and I dont know what to fix the UNEVENness of my left condyle to my right. So anyway thats my story so far and Im REALLY glad to have found this website, cause I think Im REALLY gonna need people to talk with who are going through the " same " things. By the way..how long did it take everyone to get diagnosised... I had headaches and everything else since a head injury in 1989.. dr I saw at the time didnt beleive me about anything I told him..and said I was just trying to get out of work HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I couldnt believe it. Head has hurt horribley ever since. Thank goodness for dentists.. (dentist figured out what was going on...THREE years ago). Curious...how is everyone that has had surgery cleaning their mouths?? Do you do a hydrogen peroixide wash?? Does it work? Anyone tried white grease for the bruising and swelling??? (old wives trick) Well anyway..thanks for reading..look forward to making friends!! Artwiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
