    I'm getting my splint removed today! I'm very excited and have been looking forward to this day for awhile now. I had upper jaw surgery on June 29, 2010, a little over 5 weeks now. Cant wait to be able to talk normally again. I hope everything goes well. Wish me luck!

    Congrats Abe, I didn't have a splint, but I was just as excited to get unbanded at the 5-week mark, so good luck, and let us know how it goes...

    I'm Brandon, the creator of JawSurgeryBlog.com. I personally had upper and lower jaw surgery on October 30, 2007. Thankfully, everything went beautifully, so I'm trying to make sure everyone else's surgery goes smoothly as well!

    Ok. So I feel really stupid for asking this. But Id rather ask than wonder.

    Isn't the Spint the "mouth guard" thingy over your teeth?

    there are different splints-I have a "splint" that goes over my bottom teeth, like a mouth guard, that I have to wear 24/7 before I even get braces-there is another splint that you wear that widens your teeth I think. Hope this helps!
