I am currently in the process of getting veneers on my six front upper teeth. After the veneers are placed, I am schedule to have surgery. I was told I would need a device to hold open my mouth and an endotrachial tube to breath. Could these devices used during anesthesia cause damage to my veneers? How long should I wait after the veneers are placed to have the surgery? Is two weeks adequate? Thank you so much!
