May 11, 2010 · 6:36 pm. I can eat anything. Really. Anything. Well, except stuff that will break my braces. But no food is off limit anymore. I can chew like a real person.😀. I made this recipe. Tonight, and it occurs to me that it would be a tasty and healthy meal for someone who just got chewing clearance and is relearning how to eat. Enjoy! 2 responses to “. I can eat anything.

And they’re off →. November 8, 2010 · 7:44 pm. Get ready, get set. I will have my braces removed on December 27. That will be 1 year, 7 months and 23 days since I started treatment, which is just a little over the 18 month minimum that I was quoted from going from a sad open bite to a happy new smile. Yeah! I’m going to celebrate by biting through an apple and eating some corn on the cob. And they’re off →. 4 responses to “. Get ready, get set. November 11, 2010 at 12:45 pm. That’s on my birthday!

Monthly Archives: July 2015. July 4, 2015 · 12:04 pm. Oral myofunctional therapy update. I have now had four months of oral myofunctional therapy, and it has made a world of difference. I can now close my lips without significant straining in my chin muscles. The left side of my tongue is no longer soft but now has muscles similar to those on the right side of my tongue. I now know where to put my tongue in my mouth when it is resting! Got a great jaw-friendly recipe for Jaw Nom Nom? A smile connects us.

No matter what you’re eating after orthognathic surgery, you’re going to need the right tools to do it. The problem is that you won’t know what will work for you until you actually have the surgery. Here are some tools you should have on hand during your recovery to help you get nutrition back into your body:. 8211; Baby spoons (I’d go with the softer, more flexible ones). 8211; Sippy cup. 8211; Paper or Styrofoam cups. 8211; Straws (may be prohibited by your surgeon). 8211; Condiment bottles. While the ...

And they’re off. Oral myofunctional therapy update →. December 4, 2014 · 1:18 pm. When I got my braces off four years ago, I could not have imagined that I would be back at the orthodontist’s office for more treatment. I figured I’d wear my retainers and go for annual checks. Today, I started a two-month course of treatment that involves less expensive Invisalign trays. This will help close that gap and get me a removable retainer to keep everything in place. But that’s not all! Next week, I’ll be ...

I can eat anything. Chewing practice →. May 16, 2010 · 7:29 pm. I don’t think I’ve ever really thought about the process of chewing before I had this surgery. Since I’ve returned to a normal diet, I’ve been trying to make one new recipe a week for dinner. I live alone, so I make the whole recipe and eat the leftovers for other dinners and lunches. Once again, another recipe I’ve made has jaw parallels. These mushroom-based “cheesesteaks”. I can eat anything. Chewing practice →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Monthly Archives: December 2010. December 27, 2010 · 8:36 pm. And they’re off. Well, sorta. As you can see, I still have some bottom brackets. I opted for a permanent retainer, so I had to keep some brackets on so nothing moves before I get my retainers next month. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I am not updating this blog regularly, but I do see new comments. If you’d like to have your jaw blog added to my list, let me know. The more inspiration, the better! Tagged as braces removal.

Get ready, get set →. September 23, 2010 · 9:42 pm. A month or two ago, I was ordered by my orthodontist to chew gum so my teeth know how to go together. Right now I’m chewing through a pack of the new Extra key lime pie flavor. My teeth look great, my bite lines up just right, but my back teeth don’t quite hit. My orthodontist said that the teeth will eventually grow to meet one another. I do not know whether to trust that. Braces may be off in November. Hang on tight. Get ready, get set →. A smile conn...
