Title: Post Surgery - 7 Days ( Lower Jaw Surgery ) *HELP*
Post by: sainty91 on September 26, 2013, 04:01:25 AM

Hi everyone

I just had a lower jaw surgery recently to correct my under bite, and well, it has been 7 days so far, and everything is going smoothly.Well not till i realized the back molar of my teeth doesn?t touch, when i clench my bite together. Is it a cause to worry? & it is putting alot of pressure on my front teethes because that is the only point where my bite meets.

Did my surgeons not align my jaw properly when they were doing the surgery?

I am pretty worried i would have to undergo another surgery, but i am seeing my surgeon only tmrw. :(

Thanks,
Jeremy

what you are describing can be corrected via orthodontics, it's not uncommon for someone's bite to be off right after surgery

don't worry about it, it's more than likely something they will just correct with braces after surgery, i think it's quite common.....
