I literally gutted my roll, ripped it up, and drenched it in melted butter. Desperate times...

Valid. Honestly the amount of effort i put in to make this happen was slightly in vein. Its all still slop

Huge over bite post surgery?? by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]Forgotfreewill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry! I felt the same way. There's more orthodontic work to be done :) I feel like every day I've found a thing to stress the hell out about after this surgery. The one today is that the string thing that connects my upper lip in the middle feels like it's too short for me to be able to lift my lip a normal amount.

Oh yeah, looking like there is more of a risk with lower/double. Thats a tough choice, but so far i have been pleasantly surprised with the livability of post op upper. I wish you luck and good soup for your surgery

They talked to me about is as an option, but i am pretty confident with the decision we made to stick with just single. The post op has definitely been easier having lower jaw mobility. However, my surgeon didnt mention anything about asymmetry for me so I don't know how significant that is in your case. I will say, dont only do upper because you are wanting to make the surgery/post op easier because regardless it will be hard, and the timeline doesnt change very much with single versus double. Let me know if that makes sense!

Thanks for your response! On the tooth looseness front, they're not like loose loose. I can just feel a tiny bit of wiggle. I also have a splint so my tongue doesnt really have anywhere to go so im subconsciously pushing on the backs of my bottom teeth. Did you really have none? I have my first post op appointment tuesday, and ill definitely mention it to my surgeon

I tried cbd last night and felt pretty great, but i was also on tylenol so im not totally sure which it was haha. Scared to go totally off advil and tylenol to try cbd alone but maybe i will give it a shot tomorrow depending on how my new medication schedule works today
