Metal Mouth Message Board

Yo whats up! I had this surgery in august and my speech is comprehensive and all but i cant say the S too good. even before surgery, my underbite made it to wear i cant make certain sounds. I have read that this surgery corrects any speech problems. So is it the braces or should I go see a speech th...

I would ask my surgeon about that one, june was a LONG time ago. but im sure its nothing too bad!

yes i had those too and they were really annoying. do you mean like in feeling nauseated or overfilled? What I think it is? Its the anesthesia and your medications! Although its been a while since your surgery, those anesthetic drugs take longer then you think to leave your system, and the acetamino...

We cant refer you to a surgeon, you need to tell your ortho or family practitioner to do so. The doctor will know what to do form them. if you ask me, From what your saying, surgery can correct your condition, though im not a doctor. I know the older you are the more risks you have with the anesthet...

as long as my mouth does not have to be wired shut and be on a liquid diet i think i can manage another surgery.

thanks for all the feedback guys, I also want to know about getting all this hardware removed. my surgeon never mentioned anything about this but i hear people talking about it here on the forums. There is this one screw on the side of my nose that pokes out and you can definitely feel it with a fin...

I dont have any before and after pics at the moment but ill try and find some.

I want to know if its normal to be swollen 6 months post op, not noticeably swollen like a chip monk but not your normal facial size

trust me man i know what your saying, did you expect your bite to be perfect when they unwired you? your wrong, mines was even worse, if you dont believe me(and i dont blame you its the internet) ask your ortho or even your surgeon which i recommend Now days technology is so advanced that they did y...

well im not as happy as i thought i would be. I like my new bite and everything and my surgeon told me the swelling has completely subsided but thats not true. I get commented by how fat my cheeks got and how one side is bigger than the other and its true! my surgeon does not know me personally that...

I was wired up just like you when i had surgery and trust me its wayyyy to early to be worried about your teeth touching and wierd feelings. your teeth are not aligned like before because your jaw moved in position. When they unwire you that is not the final result, you still have another 6 month of...

Im only 21 years old! they are like red marks they dont really dig in much. I dont know what they are. im getting mad!

trust me your facial profile will improve no matter what, it cant get worse only better

5 weeks? give me a break! you should be thankful you look like that after 5 weeks. Something about Asians, yal never swell up too bad. no offense
lookin good though man after 5 weeks.

I have these lines right above my cheek bones that look similar to have bags under my eyes but i know they arent bags because I have those too. I noticed them directly after my surgery and I thought they would go away but here I am 4.5 months later. I still have some swelling on my cheeks and I thin...

thanks for all the feedback. I notice after I eat the swelling increased just a little bit.
