Asked By:sumanfromhyd

i underwent a jaw surgery..i had 6 fractures due to an assault on my lower jaw...i have 4 titanium plates in my mouth...now i am not able to bite..sir i believe in what u have replied to my post . i have consulted a maxillofacial surgeon who checked my reports and said one my tooth got fractured during the trauma was not removed ..besides there was a screw that was fixed through my tooth according to my opg reports..and now may be by removing that tooth and shutting my mouth for another three weeks may solve the problem..?
