Hi everyone! Been reading this topic for a while after having my surgery on 30/5. I had the SARME surgery and was wondering what the difference between SARPE and SARME was? I recovered pretty quick from the surgery, i had 3 badly impacted wisdom teeth removed at the same time too so i thought it wo...

Hey everyone, I saw my ortho and he said in 7 weeks he was going to put the upper braces on. That would be a total of 10 and 1/2 weeks since my sarpe surgery. I didn't ask because I thought that I would have to wear the expander for 6 months after surgery, but will he take the expander off before p...

Worst week I have had so far. horrible pain waking me up. Most likely from me grinding my teeth. The worst part was that I had my first kidney stone and it is as bad as they say. I do have some extreme dizziness when i lay down and get up. Anyone have that problem? I did not have bad pain from what...

Hey everyone. I had my sarpe a week ago and had a few questions. 1: The gum line above my front right tooth appears to have receded about 1mm. Is this normal? Will it grow back? 2: Will I have a scar on my gums from the incision or will the gums heal completely? 3: Lastly and this is the most impor...

I am almost 4 months into after my surgery and everything is going well. I have stopped turning and I am now on my power chains for my braces. There are a few things still going weird with my mouth though. My mouth just started to click when I eat certain foods, and I still have a numb feeling in th...

[quote="acb1100"]Cassandra, I think the feeling returning is a bit different for everyone, but I can tell you I had this one little patch of numbness on the inside of my lip that took about a month to go back to normal.[/quote] Well thank you I will see if that happens. I have tingling whe...

So it has been 4 weeks since my surgery and about a week after it i started to turn every day 2 times a day and then last week I went down to one turn a day and I will know if i have to turn it all the way to the end on monday when I get my braces wire taken out for tighter wires in. I still have al...

Ok thanks. The recovery is going Ok. I just wish that I had full feeling in all parts of my lower chin again that was caused by the wisdom tooth being pulled. It is kinda hard to play the flute with just some feeling but hey I only had surgery about 3 weeks ago and I am doing great. We have started ...

I got very anxious about it the day of it. But the hole week before it I listened to music and that helped me a lot.

Well I had the surgery yesterday and I had my bottom Wisdom teeth out at the same time. I am only puffy on one side of my face and that is my right side. The 3 hours after surgery were fine but when I got some of the painkiller meds into my system I threw up blood. I don't know if that is normal I a...

I am having SARPE surgery on Monday. I am 18 years old and I am a senior in High school. This has been very helpful to make me feel better for the surgery. But did any one lose a teeth after they had the surgery. And does anyone regret their surgery after a few years of having it. Braces on July 11 ...
