I have three mini plates but I only know this because Dr Alfaro told me! I have never felt them!
Surely it's 6?  4 on the upper jaw, 2 on the lower?

We're both wrong, PloskoPlus, I've just checked the report. I have two miniplates ( and eight screws) on the upper and two miniplates ( with nine screws) on the lower.
So four miniplates.
No discomfort even in winter.

Intersting.  I thought it's always 4 on the upper - 2 right by the nose and 2 further back.
