wires off!! but a question...

[Guest guest]

I finally got my wires off last weekend (5 weeks) and I couldn't

feel better. The hell was definitely worth it. I got home from the

surgeon and made myself scrambled eggs, my first real meal! Since

then, I've basically been eating everything I normally would, with

the exception of something unusually tough, like steak. I love my

smile now (will be even better when braces come off in 2 months) and

everything healed well. My only question is this. I had a slight

underbite and had it moved back about 4-6mm. Now that the wires are

off, my bite lands the way it should in the new position. However,

if I try retract my lower back, i can move my top teeth back behind

my lower teeth, sorta of the way it was before, but not as severe.

Of course, it feels wierd and I couldn't chew that way. But I never

could do the oppositie when I had an underbite, that is move my

upper teeth over my lower. Often when I'm eating the upper and lower

front teeth land on each other by accident. Is this because my

muscles still aren't used to the new bite and need time to streth?

Obviously, the teeth are in the position they should be, so I'm just

wondering if over this will go away and I won't be able to move the

lower back quite so much.
