Metal Mouth Message Board

I'm approaching the 3rd month mark, since the surgery. I've read threads on "post-op oily skin & acne" and did experience some slight acne. I also had severe chapped lips for about 2 months & now I have these tiny bumps all over my lips. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how...

I'm almost 3 months post-op. My tongue had a numbing sensation for about 2 months. Might be a shorter period for you. Mine lasted a bit longer, due to one of my brackets shifting and irritating my tongue.

3 weeks Post Op today: I am really enjoying, seeing my results progress. I had minor sleep apena before the surgery, now I wake up early every morning full of energy. I can go a whole day without feeling tired and wanting to nap. I kind of want to record my self sleep to see, if my snoring has also ...

I've also been experiencing nightmares :shock: :smoken: :yikes: :rawk: :crazy: One of my brackets on the back molars,has slightly moved & has been causing pain on the left side of my tongue. I can't wait for my next apt (Wedneday) so they can remove the elastics and adjust my bracket. My jaw pop...

I'm one week post-op. I hope, I get similar results. Your results looks great dude.

1 Week Post Op: My surgeon was surprised by how quickly my swelling has reduced. He even removed my splint (super stoked). I can talk and drink more freely now.

Looking forward to my 2 week apt, so they can remove my elastic bands!

Good Luck Changes! RS - I am also having problems speaking and swallowing because I have a splint attached to the bottom of my top teeth. I had my top palate expanded. I went to the doctor today and he said I would have the splint for another two weeks, until I reminded him that I start work 9/3. I...

My surgeon said, i shoulbe ablt to talk but i cant no matter how hard i try. I only have on the elastics but maybe the splint is ...

[quote="SueHeck"]I am having surgery August 15! One week! :shock: I have an open bite that resulted in neck and shoulder pain for over 20 years. I didn't think it was related to my jaw until I got braces and the pain was reduced drastically. I also require the surgery to keep my back molar...

Anyone else having surgery this month? Please post!

I have lower jaw surgery (possibly double) along with genio scheduled for the 19th of August.

So excited to finally join the "buddies list" LOL.

This forum has been great motivation and support. Thanks everyone!

I had my second consultation today.(One step closer. Yay!!!) My surgeon recommends, that I have double jaw surgery to correct my overbite along with a Genio to give vertical height to my chin. He pointed out that, I have a deep groove under my bottom lip. Has anyone had a similar procedure? I am hav...

How do deductible plans work? Before I go to a office visit, I must pay the $1500 deductible?

Thanks for your help.

I am so confused after speaking to 2 separate reps. I was quoted nearly $400 per month for a co-pay 25 plan. I will be starting school this spring and doubt I would be able to afford that plan comfortably. Could someone please let me know, what plan you have. I don't go to the Dr's often, are the de...
