http://myawfulopenbite.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery. Thursday, September 20, 2012. 8 Weeks Post Op. Having said all that, this still was the most difficult thing that I have ever gone through.let's not take that away from surgery! I still struggle with puffiness, a little ache every now and then, difficulty chewing/eating, and the top of my mouth and gums are still 100% numb. I never said it's been fun. But I've moved into the acceptance phase and it feels pretty good. Really good actually. 1 The Jaw bra. h...

My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. March 12th my braces will be coming off! I am so excited that I already scheduled a cleaning and whitening for the very next day :). I also don't have to wear that palate retainer anymore, which is good and bad. The feeling is still working itself back to the roof of my mouth and when food touches that area it's just plain weird. The retainer helped to avoid that weirdness, but I am ready to try life without it. 3 Years Post Double ...

BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga: January 2012
http://jawsurgerysaga.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga. Thursday, January 26, 2012. Just saw my surgeon for my 4 week checkup and everything looks good. My range of motion is now 40 mm and he said that's right on track and maybe a little better than most (he was probably just being nice, but I'll take it! The BEST news, however, is that he made an appointment to remove my splint in 2 weeks. Yippee! After the splint is removed I will go straight from his office to my orthodontist to have a new continuous wire made for my upper teeth.

BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga: December 2011
http://jawsurgerysaga.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
BaliGirl's Jaw Surgery Saga. Saturday, December 31, 2011. I slept great again last night. I still can't believe how good I feel compared to what I was expecting. My surgeon called me this morning to see if I needed my nose cleaned out again. It's Saturday. His office is closed. How awesome is it that he called to check on me on a Saturday and offered to come in just for me? The back part of my palate is swollen and mostly numb and it feels like I need to constantly swallow. Every time I swallow the b...

To those who are going through this, I know you can relate! Having had an ugly bite for most of your life sticks with you! The status of my face:. Is known as l...
