Asking For Self, Male 44, Islamabad
I have a problem of mouth opening and also had a surgery in July 2020. My OMF Surgeon suggested me to practise with mouth depressor putting between upper n lower teeths. i am following his instructions and even seen various videos on youtube as tutorial. but still problems remains. No progress (If a whole day i practise and reachs out to 9 or 10, Next morning again mouth oprning gets limited and again i start from 5 Depressors)
Suggest me do i change my OmF surgeon Dr or I consult some pyshiotherapist.
consult professor Muhammad Israr at maroof international hospital
he's maxillofacial surgeon n has great experties
Please visit maxillofacial surgeon, for further management they will refer you to a physiotherapist if required.
Needs further evaluation with OPG X-ray or TMJ more in focus , with surgery it should have got better however continue with excercise already advice
what kind of Surgery was performed, can we be updated?
It is more related to ur compliance. We do the surgery but patient cooperation and compliance is must in this. Yes you would need a periodic followup with your surgeon. If not satisfied, then take second opinion
Try to adjust to the same regimen. It will take months to improve . still for further can get second opinion from a maxillofacial surgeon
no need to worry u treatment is available in homeopathy and u will be better within 2 weeks
your condition is OSF ( oral submucous fibrosis ) and the treatment you're getting right now is exercise. that helps very little
another options are corticosteroid injections and Surgical option
cause of limited mouth opening must be diagnosed. it could be due to your joint or due to lack of laxity in your mouth. Book an appointment through Marham
The treatment of your issue requires clinical examination by an orthodontist first . Please visit us for best treatment options
you should consult your surgeon yet again and discuss some alternative treatments if putting sticks isn't working
Revisit your OMF surgeon,and discuss with him in detail.
