Oral Splint

Rachel came out of surgery with a splint in her mouth. This is what it looks like. 



Throughout the day she is supposed to be putting her teeth into the grooves in the splint to train her jaw the new resting position. 


When we asked at the time of hospital discharge how long the is in, the resident said a couple of weeks. Rachel is hoping that because Dr. Martin said at her post op appointment this past Monday that she is ahead of the game, that perhaps he will remove it next week. She is hoping that is the case!!
