Sorry for the lack of update! It's now been 7 months since my surgery - time goes so quickly!!
Not much has changed in terms of how my face looks, except for I think the swelling is mostly gone now. All of the numbness has also gone, which is great. My bottom teeth still feel quite sensitive, but I managed to eat an apple the other day for the first time in about 3 years!! I also occasionally get jaw pain on the right side of my face, especially if I don't wear my retainers (oops) but I think that's normal. I have been wearing my retainers alternate nights though.
I saw my surgeon last week and he said everything looks great but there's still a small gap between my top and bottom teeth on one side - apparently because my upper jaw is too narrow, but I don't think it can be corrected easily - plus I'm so done with dentistry!! I forgot to take photos of the x-ray - damn!
I've been to Amsterdam, the USA and Cornwall since my last post - managed to get some time off work! I have just quit my job and am heading out to the French alps for a ski season next week, exciting!
