No Splint!!!!..... just kidding - day 43

Hey guys, long time no update. Today marks day 43 of my double jaw surgery recovery! Woohoo! Its been 6 weeks and 1 day.

I was supposed to get my splint taken off yesterday (kind of did for about 20 minutes total), but ended up having to get it put back on and being told to wait until Tuesday. So this is what happened:

I go to my appointment with my surgeon first thing. He takes off the splint, I brush my teeth, and then he checks my bite. He asks me what the high points were (better sinuses, new profile, hoping to chew much better), and then installs the splint temporarily again until I go to see Dr. Daub.

Fast forward to Dr.Daub (orthodontist). I go to the appointment, bringing my camera with to show him and his staff my progress. He takes off my splint, I take several X-Rays of my side profile, and an impression. The wires of my top teeth are changed, and he takes some pictures of my teeth.

Then he asks Erin (his assistant) to change my bands, put back on the wires, and install the splint...... again.

All that I could think of in my head  was "I THOUGHT IT WAS COMING OFF?!"

Unfortunately, I have to wait... I guess its not a big deal (just 5 more days)...
Reason why I have to have the splint on still is to maintain my arch while they make my palate expander...
Oh well.
