Thank you, jdiameron! :D It’s been three weeks today, and I can open to almost normal hight, but do have some pain/ tenderness in the right joint. I have numbness in my upper buccal (outer) gums, and maybe a little bit on the right side of the nose (but have sensation there). I’m not sure if i can f...

That’s wierd, Jdiamerond! Can you try with another browser, and then get back to me?

Hi DJOC! I have uploaded a bunch of photos in the june/ july 2018 group

More..

For those interested, here are some before/ after pictures

Hi! From your photos, I can see that the midline i off, but not something anyone will notice without knowing/ study your teeth. I wish to see more pictures before and after, especially after from a little more distance. Other than what i said, it looks good! I do not think you show to much teeth at ...

It’s now 10 days since my lefort1 (downward and forward movement), and I’ve been wearing a splint with bands shutting my mouth ever since. A few days after surgery, when not that tender anymore, I’ve had a urge to bite down carefully, but with a bit of pressure. My surgeon said something about the m...

MoJo2685, do your front teeth do not bite down on each other in occlusion?

That´s exciting, happyfeet! Do you feel ready, and are you motivated?

I wish more people can post pictures!

Jaydee83, har you having additional surgery after sarpe? Lefort 1? So you have a bilateral crossbite? And the surgeon says it will improve the TMD? When it comes to the surgery, I think you will be fine. The pain is not normally the issue, just discomfort. Also the first week goes fast as you are me...

Mm12345, Thank you! Chuckaluck, I´m getting my splint out in about 9 days, and then I´m just gonna wear it at night. Today is day 5, and everything is good. I´ve been out and about the whole day, meeting friends, been shopping, and even worked out a little at home (push-ups etc.). I´m basically of p...

Mm12345, I was an outpatient because i did it privately. You can read more about it in my other thread. After the surgery, I stayed for about 3 hours before I went home. It was so good to come home, but it was scary for my boyfriend because I passed out 2 times the first night when I went to the bat...

I’m now on day 3, and i’m feeling great. I’ve had almost no pain, so I have been cutting down on the pain meds. Very little swelling. I’ve been out of the house to meet the surgeon on day 2, and he was surprised about how well I’m doing.

Here are some photos taken now.
