Implant/screw removal jaw possibility? (Photo)

Easygoing931760May 31, 2024
Hi there. About 2.5 years ago I had jaw surgery. I never had my hardware removed. The hardware around my mouth is bothering me a lot. I want to get it removed but i wonder if it is too late. I also wonder if my bone has grown over the screws, making it complicated to remove the screws? Please see my xray in the attached photos.
