Thank you random random!
The first 2 or 3 days, the worst was throat pain because of the general anesthesia tube, the rest of my face was pretty much numb. I spent one night at the hospital and was sent home the following day.
At home I started regaining feeling and a lot of pain came with it, so the first week was hell. I still have pain, specially on the afternoons and nights, but now it is manageable with medication. The worst is when I smile.
Also I have 6 screws on my gums because of the invisalign and they are a total pain in the ass.
Swelling has come down a lot, but I'm still very swollen. I look disfigured and I'm at that point where you start questioning if all of this was worth it.
You have to be mentally prepared because it's going to be tough so I'm trying to be patient and remember that it's going to get better eventually.
Hope that helps
