Metal Mouth Message Board

hey guys, havent updated in awhile. I'm doing fine now, i was miserable during expansion but am much netter now. i'm finally getting use to these devices. the lower rpe was never a problem, it was always the upper boneborne device that would irraritate the crap out of my. i'm chewing soft stuff now ...

What's up peck, goodluck with ur sarpe. I lost 13 pounds so far, it's been almost 3 weeks since my surgery. I had a 2 peice lefort sarpe surgery so I'm not allowed to chew anything. That hasn't helped in the keeping the weight problem. I also had lower sarpe so I have and extra road block when it co...

I always had a tough time breathing out of my nose. It was never really stuffed with snot it just always felt closed off. But the last 3 days have been amazing. Ever since I hit the 4mm mark on my upper device both my nostrils have been so open. I'm at 7mm today, 3mm to go. I hope this nasal clearin...

So I went to taco bell ordered a Mexican pizza 2 chalupas and a couple tacos. Keep in mind I'm on my no chew diet. Anyway I scraped all the meat sour cream cheese and beans, put it in a bowl stirred it viggeroulsy and enjoyed myself a great meal. Had to swallow most of it whole but it was easy and s...

Much better day today. The swelling has really gone done, no more blood in my nose. My gaps are huge. Now if I could just eat some real food, a no chew diet stinks.

Much better day today, I only need pn meds before i went to bed. the swelling is finally going down, u were right about day three being the worse. I see the os tomorrow and start cranking upper and lower expanders. surprisingly i'm to to worried about the top, its expanding the lower that scares me....

saw OS today he said he had to do a lefort one with my sarpe. so he told me my upper jaw is just free floating. pain is getting better but swelling is getting worse.

thx chicago, i stating upper expansion friday and lower next wed. upper jaw not too sore but man the lower bone born hurts pretty bad. i'll post pics next week

i've been out of surgery for about six hours now. the pain and swelling is awful. not so much the upper sarpe but the lower sarpe (MSDO). these devices are going to be a pain. both devices are bone borne. the top looks just like yours BracketRacket. the lower one is under my skin in front of my chin...

Congrats Chicago. Enjoy ur new look.

I'm official getting nervous. After finding out I am getting bone borne devices top and bottom, then seeing BR bone borne torture car jacking device on the roof of his mouth. Well, piss this sux. I hope I can handle this with my lingual braces in. Thats a lot of metal in my mouth. Thx for the pics C...

Thx BR.

i dont know about courage, i'm scared sesame. the original plan was to remove the linguals and place normal braces on at time of surgery. when i was at the ortho yesterday i was asking him how is it possible to have linguals and an rpe, thats when he told me gunsen decided to go with the bone bourne...

Hey Chicago, I found out how they will to the expander with my lingual braces in. They are going to attach the rpe with screws into my bone. So the expander won't be touching my teeth. Crazy!!! Happy new year

Hey Chicago, I hope Your xmas was nice. I had a question about the device for the msdo, a couple actually. Can u tell me what the device looks like and how it was in your mouth. Was the adjustment screw behind you bottom lip. If u had any pic of it that would be great. Have a great new year.
